Running a script after the Item Reference pop up window has closed

Simon_Morris_(simonmorris_-_(deleted))

Hi all,I'm trying to find a way of getting a script to run after a user has selected a document via an item reference on a html form.The script I want to run picks up information stored in a category attached to the document and populates fields on the form with this info.I've managed to get it to work as an event script but ideally I'd like it to run as soon as the user selects the document so that the user can make any changes to these fields before sending the step on.Is there any way of doing this?

You can get the script to run by using javascript to open another window and having the request handler run the script and then pass the resultant data back to the calling page.In the javascript function xxxxx_DoSelection, this is the function that stores the id of the selected node on the calling page, open another window and call a custom request handler passing in the id of the selected node. That request handler would then take the nodeID and call your custom script that gathers the required data. This data is then passed to the HTML file for the newly opened window. The onload function for that new window would then take this passed in data and set the desired fields on the opener window. After setting the data on the opener, the onload function then closes this temporary window.The end user would get a flash of a window opening and closing, but the data would be set on the originating page.
