Hi everyone im new to php and would like to know how if it is possible to pass the data from a child window with a table containing data from the database and upon selection of which data to echo the value into the text area of the parent window using a checkbox within the child window.I would much appreciate it if anyone could provide some help on this. Below is the code. Thanks.
Child Window:
<head>
<!-- CSS goes in the document HEAD or added to your external stylesheet -->
<!-- CSS goes in the document HEAD or added to your external stylesheet -->
<style type="text/css">
table.hovertable {
font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
color:#333333;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #999999;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table.hovertable th {
background-color:#c3dde0;
border-width: 1px;
padding: 8px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #a9c6c9;
}
table.hovertable tr {
background-color:#d4e3e5;
}
table.hovertable td {
border-width: 1px;
padding: 8px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #a9c6c9;
}
</style>
<!-- Table goes in the document BODY -->
</head>
<body>
<form action="retrievemath.php" method="post">
<table class="hovertable">
<tr>
<th>Insert ?</th><th>Expression Name</th><th>Math Expression</th>
</tr>
<tr onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ffff66';" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#d4e3e5';">
</tr>
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($queryResource))
{
?>
<tr>
<td><input type="radio" name="insert" id="<?php echo $row['mathID']?>" value="<?php echo $row['expressionname']?>" /> </td>
<td><?php echo $row['expressionname']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['mathexpression']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</table>
<div class="submit">
<input type="hidden" name="formsubmitted" value="TRUE" />
<input type="submit" value="Insert" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['formsubmitted'])) {
echo $_POST['insert'];
}
?>
Parent Window:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function myPopup2() {
window.open( "retrievemath.php", "myWindow",
"status = 1, height = 300, width = 300, resizable = 0" )
}
//-->
</script>
<script src="ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<textarea class="ckeditor" cols="80" id="editor1" name="editor1" rows="10" ></textarea>
<form>
<input type="button" onClick="myPopup2()" value="POP2!">
</form>
<p onClick="myPopup2()">CLICK ME TOO!</p>
</body>
your parent window can be accessed by “window.opener” here is an example how you can send data from child to the parent window.
