Question

Hi… I want to know that when a user posts a comment to my site … to open a web page (in new window, with a fixed width and height like window.open ) which contains the form and after submit, I want to close that windows and show that comment in the parent page through ajax … (or i guess after closing that window, to auto reload the parent page … I don’t know ) …

Is there any solution to this .. ?
Or what is the best way to open a pop-up which contains the form (not a new window) ?

Thank you very much.

1. Attach an onclick handler on whatever you use to let the user make a comment
2. This handler pops up the new window with the form
3. The form submits the comment to the server via ajax
4. Once the ajax handler is done on the server, it returns the comment’s ID to the form window script
5. the form window script calls a function in the original window, passing in the comment ID, telling the window to load up the new comment (via another AJAX call, or directly passing the comment details from the form page)
6. the form page script then closes the window.
