passing values between parents in JS

Hi ALL,

Iam trying to upload a File from LocalSystem to TeamSite Server according to thread :
https://support.interwoven.com/kb/kb_show_article2.asp?ArticleID=52656

In this the location to store the file is Hardcoded, that means the location to store the file which i took from my local system is hard coded.

to avod this in promptfileUpload.ipl i have added another text are with a button like :

<font face="Arial">File to Store:</font> <input type="text" name="user"> <input type="button" value="Browse..." onClick="javascript&colon;storeFile()">
<br><br>

function storeFile()
{
var server = window.location.hostname;
var port = window.location.port;
if(port != '') {
server = server + ":" + port;
}
var url = "http://"+server + "/iw-bin/Path_of_the_file.ipl";
var childWindow = window.open(url,"childWindow","width=500,height=400,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes");
return true;
}

And in Path_of_the_file.ipl i have some logic to get the Location of the file to be stored.

My question is how can i get selectd folder from Path_of_the_file.ipl IPLS to above code i.e inside user text box.

Thanka and Regards,
Sanjeev.

There are many ways to do it, they differ mainly on how you want to
find an object to modify in the 'opener' window. In your case you probably
have one Form, one value so you can just hardcode it all.

1. Name the original Form from promptFile or whatever it was...
<FORM name="myForm" ...

2. In your window generated by 'Path_of_the_file.ipl' do the following when you know your path:
var calloutForm = eval(window.opener.top.document.myForm);
if (calloutForm) {
calloutForm.user.value = 'something';
}
else {
alert("Cannot find Opener"); // Usually it means that caller Window has been closed
}

Please note that for this trick to work both 'caller' and 'callee' should have the same domain otherwise
you'll have security violation error.

Hi ISCBorisB,

With This -- var calloutForm = eval(window.opener.top.document.formInput);

Iam Getting Undefined inside calloutForm, when i remove formInput from above expresiion iam getting object inside calloutForm.

I mean var calloutForm = eval(window.opener.top.document); When i remove form name.

Due to that its going inside ELSE Loop, but you said that means caller window has been closed, it seems other than that.

My Form Code is :

<BODY>
<FORM ID="formInput" ACTION="/iw-bin/performFileUpload.ipl" METHOD="post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<font face="Arial">File to Upload:</font> <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="filename" onBlur="readFile()">
<br><br>
<font face="Arial">File to Store:</font> <input type="text" name="user"> <input type="button" value="Browse..." onClick="javascript&colon;storeFile()">
<br><br>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="Submit" VALUE="Submit Form">   
<BUTTON onClick="closeMe()">Cancel</BUTTON>
</FORM>
</BODY>

Hi,

Sorry for above response,

I did not had form name in my form code instead of that i was using form ID.

Thanking you,
Sanjeev.

Sanjeev,

You've mixed 2 different things, Name and ID are not interchangable.

You have:
"<FORM ID=formInput..." and you try to get it by Name in
"eval(window.opener.top.document.formInput);"
No wonder you do not get an object.

So, either add a name to your form and use it as I did in my sample
or get Document and from it find the form by ID...

Hi,

I removed ID and made that simple by keeping name only, now that is working.
Thank you very much.

Sanjeev.
