How to "reload" a child window?

[DL]

Ran a quick search on child window "reload" without satisfactory
result, hence, pose a question here.

The word, "reload" is not really accurate, what I'd like to do is,
upon certain event occurs at the child window, I'd like to call a
script (be it php, .NET, or ColdFusion) either with form elements or
URL with parameters. What is known, javascript variable for the child
window. Also, the parent window stays put.


How to?

Thank you.

DL, if the event occurs in the child window and you want to content of
the PHP, .NET or ColdFusion to go into the child window then the child
window should be able to take care of itself by catching the event and
calling the PHP/.NET page itself. The parent need not intervene.

Add event listeners to objects living in the "child window", either directly
or through the "javascript variable". You might lose the relation to the
"parent window" if you cause navigation there, though. Using frames in the
popup could help with this, but might introduce more problems as well.

I don't know what you mean be "call a script". Scripts are not called, they
are executed (in most cases: source code is JIT-compiled, and the resulting
byte code is interpreted). Scripts can generate content, if you mean that.

You're right on the loose use of terminology by me, yes, to execute a
script, not call a script in this case. I attempted to use something
like onclick="self.location='scriptForSmallWindow.php';">stay in the
same small window</a>
to no avail, nor self.document.location ...

or through the "javascript variable". Pls tell me more about it.
Thanks.

You don't need 'self' if the link is in the child (popup),
onclick="location='scriptForSmallWindow.php';">
would have to do the job
(open in same window (here the popup) the php file)

or through the "javascript variable". Pls tell me more about it.
Thanks.

as said above, it is not certain that the child window will still
remember its opener (the mother) so it will be probably better to use a
function set in the mother page.

onclick="opener.sendChild('scriptForSmallWindow.php');"

mother's JS :
=============
function sendChild(url) {
window.open(url,'theChild','width=300,height=300');
}

<https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.open>


The "javascript variable" (example) :

JS :
====
var choice;
function setChoice(what) {
choice = what.value;
}

HTML :
======
<form>
<input type=radio name="art" value="01" onclick="setChoice(this)"> art.01
<input type=radio name="art" value="02" onclick="setChoice(this)"> art.02
<input type=radio name="art" value="03" onclick="setChoice(this)"> art.03
</form>
<button onclick="opener.sendChild('query.php?art='+choice);">go</button>

Sorry, I forgot to mention. I'm using Ext window class for windows
management. Within this context, the above
onclick="location='scriptForSmallWindow.php';"> at child window level
goes back to the parent window.

</form>
<button onclick="opener.sendChild('query.php?art='+choice);">go</button>

Within the ext window context, I preloaded the two windows, default
diplays the Main window,
on click event for the small window, it then displays and floating
over the main one...

Thanks.

Well, you certainly can't seem to get enough of my "crap", and to show off
your "intelligence". So maybe, just maybe, the problem is with *you* instead?

Figures. See if you can get a refund.
