RE: [PHP] How pass form variable to window.open()

Unless student is set somewhere else that wont work.. you need the form to submit before the text field 'student' sets a var named student. One way to do such, without all the window formating is to just submit the form to the page you want. and target=_new in the form tag. other than that, you must use javascript to grab the data from the textfield, then use window.open() ..create a javascript method called openwin or something that gets called OnClick on your button. function openWin() { student = document.Form.Student.value; win = open('yourpage.html?student=' + student, 'Title', 'width=45,height=34'); win.focus(); } "Jay Blanchard" <jay.blanchard@niicommunications.com> wrote: > > [snip] > Anyone can tell if, inside php script, I can pass form variable to the > javascript window.open() call? > > That is, > > in the form, for example, i have <input type=text.. name=student ...> > > and <input type=button onClick=window.open('url?student=$student', ....) > > It seems to me not working. > [/snip] > > You have to echo or print the sJavaScript statement with PHP, > > print("<input type=\"button\" > onClick=\"window.open('url?student=$student', ....) > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
