Ex. (not complete script)
function Training(Colid,Name,Region,Department)
{
-> At this point I don't know how to pass the value for all that variable to new popup window

document.frmpersonnel.value=Colid
document.frmpersonnel.value=Name
document.frmpersonnel.value=Region

Hmm... I've looked the code you gave, but i think that not what i expect, maybe this time i'll give the more complete Code

on the main page i have this code on my JScript

function Work_Experience(COLID,Code,Name,JobTitle,Department,Region,Unit,DateJoined)
{
document.frmQuery.SelectedCOLID.value = COLID
document.frmQuery.EmployeeCode.value = Code
document.frmQuery.EmployeeName.value = Name
document.frmQuery.EmployeeJobTitle.value = JobTitle
document.frmQuery.EmployeeDepartment.value = Department
document.frmQuery.EmployeeRegion.value = Region
document.frmQuery.EmployeeUnit.value = Unit
document.frmQuery.EmployeeDateJoined.value = DateJoined
document.frmQuery.action = "./work_experience_list.asp"
document.frmQuery.submit()
}
Link to Open Work_experience Page (With Image Link)
<A href="javascript:Work_Experience('<%=oObj.COLID%>','<% = oObj.EmployeeCode%>','<% = oObj.EmployeeName%>','<% = oObj.JobTitleCode%>','<% = oObj.DepartmentCode%>','<% = oObj.RegionCode%>','<% = oObj.Unit%>','<% = oObj.DateJoined%>')" >

Then on the popup window that i expected,i put this code

(child window)
(Request Value - Asp code)
<% RequestedCode = Request.Form("EmployeeCode")
RequestedName = Request.Form("EmployeeName")
RequestedJobTitle = Request.Form("EmployeeJobTitle")
RequestedDepartment = Request.Form("EmployeeDepartment")
RequestedRegion = Request.Form("EmployeeRegion")
RequestedUnit= Request.Form("EmployeeUnit")
RequestedDateJoined = Request.Form("EmployeeDateJoined")
RequestedPage = Request.Form ("RequestedPage")
%>
On The Form I Have Hidden type to recieve the value from main page:

<input type = "hidden" name = "EmployeeCode" value = "<% = RequestedCode%>">
<input type = "hidden" name = "EmployeeName" value = "<% = RequestedName%>">
<input type = "hidden" name = "EmployeeJobTitle" value = "<% = RequestedJobTitle%>">
<input type = "hidden" name = "EmployeeDepartment" value = "<% = RequestedDepartment%>">
<input type = "hidden" name = "EmployeeRegion" value = "<% = RequestedRegion%>">
<input type = "hidden" name = "EmployeeUnit" value = "<% = RequestedUnit%>">
<input type = "hidden" name = "EmployeeDateJoined" value = "<% = RequestedDateJoined%>">

This code is working properly whithout popup, i mean when i pass the values to another page(not Popup window), but They not work with Popup window......
I Hope You can help me.....thxx A lot.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you're using a form to generate your query-string, yes?

Hi,

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but...
If you are creating the popUp client-side, you cannot ask it to understand once-removed asp. The browser doesn't interpret the popUp's code until the window is created. At that time, there is no server, only client.

You need to send the data to the popUp as javascript, not asp.

(child window)
var RequestedCode = opener.document.frmQuery.EmployeeCode.value
or
var RequestedCode = opener.Code // if 'Code' is global
or
use the location.string code Beetle posted in the link.

I didn't really read it all, but a simple method would be:

var newWindow = window.open([...]);
newWindow.variable = 'something';

Behold, that variable is now available in the new window.

hi Beetle .Yes i use Form to generate the querystring, but exactly I build the web use .dll Component with Stored Procedure to execute the connection to database, that's why i just put the value once on the main page(call Personal Record of Employee) then the Main Page must give some value to another page.
I think I Should give you the complete code, if i should...
And Vincent,Yes I curious too that the new window not load anything from server, only client side.I'll try your Suggestion. thx Anyway.
