binding form's properties from popup window

[avp12]

I have a main jsp page from which onSubmit, I need to open a popup window to get input from user. The user input I get, I need to bind them to the form properties. I tried using the spring bind tag, but it did not work. I am not sure what I need to do in the popup page to bind the value back to the form properties.

Can you clarify? Is the popup part of the main form? If so, why not use hidden form inputs in the parent window. Open the popup before submitting, and use Javascript to set the parent form values - then submit.

I think in this case you need to use some javascript. For example you have a form in the parent window:

< form name="parentForm" >
< input type="hidden" name="property1">
< input type="hidden" name="property2">
< / form >

And you have the form on the popup window:

< form name="popupForm" >
< input type="text" name="property1">
< input type="text" name="property2">
< input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="doIt();" >
< / form >

When you submit the pop-up widonw a small javascript is called. This javascript function populates the form from the parent window and submits it.

function doIt(){
window.opener.parentForm.property1= popupForm.property1;
window.opener.parentForm.property2= popupForm.property2;
window.opener.parentForm.submit();
}
