[SOLVED] help with php/java popup form? (button won't submit)

A2xA · January 28, 2008

I'm making it where the user types in their 'hub' and it brings them to it.

the form for the page before (to send the variable) is:

<form action="/hubs/main.php" name="join" method="post">
<input type="text" name="hubid">
<input type="submit">
</form>

the next page where the data is sent to is:

<html>
<head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Idea by:  Nic Wolfe -->
<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=275,height=300');");
}
// End -->
</head>
</script>
<body>
<form>
<input type=button value="Open the Hub" onClick="javascript:popUp('<?php $hubid = $_POST[hubid]; $file = 'http://wiicharged.com/hubchat/$dir/shout.swf';  echo $file;?>');
</form>
</body>




</html>

The main problem is getting the variables to transfer over from the php to the java (and the submit button not working)

Thanks! all help is appreciated! Where it is is at http://wiicharged.com/index.php?action=hubs;sa=join;

There are a couple of problems here,

biggest one being that you're not attempting to solve your own problem before asking for help, have you looked at this script yet?

specifically this part?

<?php $hubid = $_POST[hubid]; $file = 'http://wiicharged.com/hubchat/$dir/shout.swf'; echo $file;?>

Yeah, I'm editing the script. I just don't know how to do both php and javascript at the same time. I've been working on it for a few days now. That's why I came here.

you have the whole concept wrong there mate.

instead of using this

eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=275,height=300');");

try and use this


window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=275,height=300');");

and i have noticed that on your URL querries there is a ";" (semicolon) after every querry try n eliminate that.

Otherwise the answer is just simple mate:)

add a target="_bank" on the form tag it will open in a new widnow no script is necessary.

like this


<form action="/hubs/main.php" name="join" method="post target="_blank" >
<input type="text" name="hubid">
<input type="submit">
</form>

hahha wow I always seem to overcomplicate things. Thanks!

Well, I sort of need it to pop up. I did what you said, but the submit button still isn't working :-X

New code:

<html>
<head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Idea by:  Nic Wolfe -->
<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=275,height=300');");
}
// End -->
</head>
</script>
<body>
<form>
<input type=button value="Open the Hub" onClick="javascript:popUp('<?php $hubid = $_POST[hubid]; $file = 'http://wiicharged.com/hubchat/$dir/shout.swf';  echo $file;?>');
</form>
</body>




</html>

valtido · January 29, 2008

ok just tell me wot you like to search a database coz i can't see any MYSQL codes there.

which means you have not done much with that code.

This line is wrong by the way at the end.

<input type=button value="Open the Hub" onClick="javascript:popUp('<?php $hubid = $_POST[hubid]; $file = 'http://wiicharged.com/hubchat/$dir/shout.swf';  echo $file;?>');

should be

<input type=button value="Open the Hub" onClick="javascript:popUp('<?php $hubid = $_POST[hubid]; $file = 'http://wiicharged.com/hubchat/$dir/shout.swf';  echo $file;?>');" />

basically you have not ended the input loool:) and your <form> tag is plain

A2xA · January 29, 2008

}
// End -->
</head>
</script>

<form>
<input type=button value="Open the Hub" onClick="javascript:popUp('<?php $hubid = $_POST[hubid]; $file = 'http://wiicharged.com/hubchat/$dir/shout.swf';  echo $file;?>');" />
</form>

valtido · January 29, 2008

Here loool it took me a while but there is alot of errors on ur original loool and one thing $dir will appear as empty mate.

it may give the wrong directory unlesss you put this code on top:

$dir ='WHEREEVER';

<html>
<head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Idea by:  Nic Wolfe -->
<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->

function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();

window.open(URL, id , 'toolbar=0','scrollbars=0','location=0','statusbar=0','menubar=0','resizable=0','width=275','height=300');

}
</script>
<title>s</title>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" value="Open the Hub" onclick="popUp('http://wiicharged.com/hubchat/<?php echo $dir; ?> /shout.swf');" />

</body>

thank you so much. It's actually working now.

There's two problems.

The variable is inserted with a space?

And the document isn't re-sized to my measurements

Thanks!

A2xA · January 29, 2008

Wait, Nevermind, I fixed it. Now it is working without the re-sizing. Do you know why it isn't re-sizing?

window.open(URL, id , 'toolbar=0','scrollbars=0','location=0','statusbar=0','menubar=0','resizable=0','width=275','height=300');

with

window.open(URL, id , 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=yes,width=275,height=300');
