New Popup window in Current Visualforce page

Hi,

I want to open new popup window in current visualforce page and retrieve some data from custom object and display on that new popup window. After user interruption , i want to store the result back to custom object.

Can anybody provide me pointers on this?


Thank you very much in advance.

Should be able to pull everything off with Javascript. Use Javascript's window.open(), then in the window that you open you should be able to pass any "default" information to populate that window using GET variables, or if it's tricker than that I think you may be able to use the DOM to fill it in directly after the window opens. Then upon clicking on the button you use DOM referencing the parent (window) to fill in whatever you received as input.

You can refer to any Salesforce input field but assigning them a javascript/DOM id using the id="..." parameter.

Also, you may be better off with a DIV that appears rather than a new window. Might make the process of referring to it easier.

Hi,

I am facing problem in following code.
Code:
<apex:page >
  <html>
  <head>
  <script type="text/javascript">
      function openpopup(){
        alert('A');
        
        var KontenWindow = window.open('','Konten','height=200,width=385,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');

        //setTimeout("openpopup()",100);

        KontenWindow.focus();
        
      }
  </script>
  </head>
<body>
<h1>Popup Window</h1>

<input type="button" value="Click" onclick="javascript:openpopup();" class="btn" />

</body>
</html>

</apex:page>

 
The javascript function openpopup() is not calling.

Can anybody suggest me the solution for this?

Yashavant,

When using an input button in HTML, there is no need to add the javascript: prefix to the onClick="...". A javascript: prefix is only necessary when calling javascript from an "a href=" tag.

https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/Window.open

Provides a very reasonable set of instructions on how to open a new window as well as a section on Best Practices with a complete example.

As far as the rest of the logic you wish to implement, without a full Javascript tutorial on using the DOM (Document Object Model) to change HTML on the fly I wouldn't be able to do much for you but this tutorial seems to fit what you're doing:
