Popup issue!

[cooldude]

I have the following code

 

<table>

<form action="details.php?id='$id" onSubmit="win=window.open('','test','toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,status=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=560,height=600,left = 80,top = 40'); this.target='test';">

<tr><td>ID :</td><td><input type="text" id="id" name="id" value="" maxlength="20"></td></tr>

<td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"></td>

</form>

</table>

 

 

I would like to validate the ID when submit button is clicked and display an error message on the screen if it is invalid. If it is valid then I want the details of ID to popup. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

Thanks in advance

on the popup... do your query, if it finds the id... show it, else, error...

 

showing on the page would require refreshing the page, making the popup pointless...

Also, quite a number of peoples computers block pop-ups with the virus things etc

Thanks! But I don't want to do the popup if the ID is invalid.. Just want to display the error message on the screen.. How can that be achieved???

well just run with the check before you use the popup

 

if // id is invalid
{
echo "Invalid";
} else
{
// popup script
}
