pop up windows and forms Jul 28, 2002, 00:58

I'm stumped with this at the moment. I have a small pop up login window with username and password fields. Instead of a submit button I have an image (a gif with "enter"). When the user clicks on the image I want the pop up window to close and the appropriate page to open in the parent window. But so far I can only get this to work if the input type is a button and not an image. Is it the case that this won't work with input type="image"? Or is there something wrong with my code? What I have so far is

But it's not working. Any ideas on what's wrong? Thanks...

	Something like this perhaps? Code: <form name="submitForm" target="self.opener" onSubmit="setTimeout('window.close()',500)"> .....form stuff.... <input type="image" src="submit.gif" onClick="this.form.submit();" /></form>

	That would definately do it! Flawless

	In retrospect, I'm not sure if 'self.opener' is valid for the target. It's correct in javascript, but I dunno if the target attribute will accept it. If not, use this workaround Code: <script>self.opener.name='parentWin';</script></head><body><form name="submitForm" target="parentWin" onSubmit="setTimeout('window.close()',500)">....etc.....

	Thanks, beetle! The workaround you put up in your second post worked like a dream (without the workaround it gave me a new pop up window). Many thanks....
