CalendarXP.net Support

Hi -

I have a license for FlatCalendar. I have my main window with an icon that when clicked will popup the calendar in a new window. When the date range is selected I need to populate the MAIN window with the selection. Right now I can only get the fields to populate to text fields on the popup window. How can I access the 'true' parent?? Right now gContainer is pointing to the new window. In order to open the new window, I am calling a backend servlet with a target of _new, I am NOT using window.open because I don't know how to call a backend servlet through this method.

Thank you for your help.....

The main window should be the opener of the popup window. Therefore, supposing the field on your main window is form1.field1, all you need is to have the following code in your plugins.js, usually in fAfterSelected():

I am getting 'gContainer is undefined'

here is the link from the main page

<a href="/maherwebapp/billingAction.do?index=0&amp;guaranteeContainer=CCLU331650&amp;method=initialCalendar" target="_blank">

The billingAction servlet forwards to the calendar.html page

the calendar.html page is as follows


<script>
function fOnRange(rng) { // call back from within the calendar engine.
var sd=new Date(rng[0]);
var ed=new Date(rng[1]);
gContainer.opener.forms[0].pageTitle.value=sd.getUTCFullYear()+"-"+(sd.getUTCMonth()+1)+"-"+sd.getUTCDate();
// window.document.all['summaryArray.paymentFromDate'][0].value=sd.getUTCFullYear()+"-"+(sd.getUTCMonth()+1)+"-"+sd.getUTCDate();
// window.document.all['summaryArray.paymentToDate'][0].value=ed.getUTCFullYear()+"-"+(ed.getUTCMonth()+1)+"-"+ed.getUTCDate();
}
</script>


<form name="fm">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Selected range start</td>
<td><input name="startDate" size=14></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Selected range end</td>
<td><input name="endDate" size=14></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Hi -

Please disregard my previous post, I was able to use window.opener and open the calendar.html directly....

BUT

when the popup window comes up I am getting this IE Error message

Line: 6
Char: 1
Error: syntax error
Code: 0
URL: http://localhost:8080/maherwebapp/calendar/iflateng.htm


Thanks again for your time,
