passing data from calling page to popup window

[former_member184111]

Hi All,

We are developing a BSP application for business card.I need to provide a preview button .

when the user clicks this button a

poopup window should open with the preview of business card.

My problem is how to pass the values like name , designation etc from the main page to popup window.

The code for previre image:

<h t m l b : i m a g e   s r c = " s _ b _ d e  tl . g i f  " a l t = " P r e v i e w   C a r d "  o n C l i c k="addr" on C l i e n t C l i c k = " c a l l W i n d o w ( ) ; "/>

<s c r i p  t t y p e = " t e x t / j a v a s c r i p t ">
f u n c t i o n  c a l l W i n d o w ()
{
w i n d o w .o p e n ( " p r e v i e w . h t m " ) ;
}

</s c r i p t >

preview.htm is a simple HTML page . i need to pass values from main page to this page.

OR

Is it possibel to restrict the size of a VIEW to use it as a popup window?

OR

is there any other way to achieve this like.. the <bsp:call comp_id=" " />

tag , but i have no idea how to use it.

Thanks,

Anubhav.

create another bsp page called pop.htm with page attributes (auto checked) required.

and from main page call this using javascript window.open method

and the url should be pop.htm?pageattr1=value&pattr2=val2......

and window.open method has parameter to decide the size of the pop up window. search google for winow.open parameters.

Hi Raja,

I did as suggested by you...but it is behaving strangely.

It works fine in debuging mode but when executed directly ....it is not working.

the scenario is:

Thers an image for preview as follows:

<htmlb:gridLayoutCell columnIndex="3" rowIndex="13">
<htmlb:i m a g e   s r c = " s _ b _ d e t l . g i f "   a l t = " P r e v i e w   C a r d "   o n C l i c k = " a d d r "   o n C l i e n t C l i c k = " c a l l W i n d o w ( ) ; " /  >
</htmlb:gridLayoutCell>

The JS code is:

f u n c t i o n   c a l l W i n d o w ( )
{
<%
data: title(5),
         fname(20),
         lname(20),
         comp(20),
         addr(20),
         city(20),
         state(20),
         pcode(20),
         country(20),
         phone(20),
         fax(20),
         email(241).

         alt_addr-title = request->get_form_field( 'title' ) .
         alt_addr-firstname = request->get_form_field( 'fname' ) .
         alt_addr-lastname = request->get_form_field( 'lname' ) .
         company = request->get_form_field( 'comp' ) .
         alt_addr-street = request->get_form_field( 'addr' ) .
         alt_addr-city = request->get_form_field( 'city' ) .
         alt_addr-region = request->get_form_field( 'state' ) .
         alt_addr-inhouse_ml = request->get_form_field( 'pcode' ) .
         alt_addr-country = request->get_form_field( 'country' ) .
         alt_addr-tel1_numbr = request->get_form_field( 'phone' ) .
         alt_addr-fax_number = request->get_form_field( 'fax' ) .
         alt_addr-e_mail = request->get_form_field( 'email' ) .
.

 CALL METHOD cl_bsp_server_side_cookie=>set_server_cookie
          EXPORTING
            name                  = 'FORMFIELDS'
            application_name      = runtime->application_name
            application_namespace = runtime->application_namespace
            username              = sy-uname
            session_id            = runtime->session_id
            data_value            = alt_addr
            data_name             = 'alt_addr'
            expiry_date_rel       = 1.

%>

 w i n d o w . o p e n ( " . . / z _ b i z c a r d / p r e v i e w . h t m " ,   " W i n E " ,   " w i d t h = 2 4 0 , h e i g h t = 3 0 0 , t o o l b a r = n o , r e s i z a b l e = no ")
}

I was doing something similar...created a controller and a view , was calling the controller from window.open method with all other parameters for sizing etc.

How to pass a structure conatining data,from controller to the view...

Thanks,

Anubhav.

if the structure has too much data either user server side cookie or application class

How to pass a structure conatining data,from controller to the view...

Now in the onCreate event of the page PREVIEW.HTM in using;

CALL METHOD cl_bsp_server_side_cookie=>get_server_cookie
  EXPORTING
    name                  = 'FORMFIELDS'
    application_name      = runtime->application_name
    application_namespace = runtime->application_namespace
    username              = sy-uname
    session_id            = runtime->session_id
    data_name             = 'alt_addr'
  CHANGING
    data_value            = alt_addr.

and in the layout of PREVIEW.HTM in am using this alt-addr:

But if put a break point at the onCreate event of preview.htm and the execute i get the values in alt_addr but if i execute directly...it is empty in the layout?

What is the problem?

Thanks,

Anubhav.

use in the oninitialization event instead of oncreate

Hi Raja,

Actually the problem seems to be with the function callwindow:

in the code:

f u n c t i o n   c a l l W i n d o w ( ) 
{
<%
  alt_addr-title = request->get_form_field( 'title' ) .
  alt_addr-firstname = request->get_form_field( 'fname' ) .
  alt_addr-lastname = request->get_form_field( 'lname' ) .
  company = request->get_form_field( 'comp' ) .
  alt_addr-street = request->get_form_field( 'addr' ) .
  alt_addr-city = request->get_form_field( 'city' ) .
  alt_addr-region = request->get_form_field( 'state' ) .
  alt_addr-inhouse_ml = request->get_form_field( 'pcode' ) .
  alt_addr-country = request->get_form_field( 'country' ) .
  alt_addr-tel1_numbr = request->get_form_field( 'phone' ) .
  alt_addr-fax_number = request->get_form_field( 'fax' ) .
  alt_addr-e_mail = request->get_form_field( 'email' ) .
  .
  CALL METHOD cl_bsp_server_side_cookie=>set_server_cookie
  EXPORTING
  name                  = 'FORMFIELDS'
  application_name      = runtime->application_name
  application_namespace = runtime->application_namespace
  username              = sy-uname
  session_id            = runtime->session_id
  data_value            = alt_addr
  data_name             = 'alt_addr'
  expiry_date_rel       = 1.
%>

w i n d o w . o p e n ("../z_bizcard/preview.htm", "WinE", "width=240,height=300,toolbar=no,resizable=no,menubar=no,status=no,titlebar=no,left=600,dependent=yes")
}

the code written in ABAP

(i.e. between <%  %>)

is never executed , alt_addr is empty in preview.htm.

Cant' we use ABAP code in JS function and call it onClientClick of a button?

Thanks,

Anubhav
