Quick bit of Javascript help needed.

[BliarOut]

I have a child window which I open in FancyBox to update the properties of a MySQL table row. On submit it automatically close and refreshes the table it was called from. It all works fine, but I now want to transfer the value of a radio button in the child form to the parent All I need to do is have the parent radio button take on the value of the checkbox on the child, ie: open or closed.

{{{
//============================================================+
//Used to close FancyBox and reload the calling page.
//============================================================+
function closeFB()
{
//window.opener.document.radioControls.statusRadio.value = document.updateForm.Status.value;
window.parent.location = window.parent.location.href;
parent.$.fancybox.close();
}
}}}


I can alter the syntax to window.parent.document etc... but that doesn't work either What am I missing?

Let me get this working first I'm planning to start using Ajax etc to make things more dynamic once I've got all the functionality I need but for consistencies sake I'd just like to do this with a simple js call.

opener.document didn't work If it helps, I'm opening it in an iframe...

[BliarOut]

What a prat. I'm calling this on the on submit action of a form... And the radio's no longer have a value

So I've got the values of the radios' using their onclick property and I can pop them in an alert but I still can't set the value of the parent... How could I do that?

I got it working with the code below but then hit another problem. The refresh of the parent then sets it back to it's default radio button and I can't be arsed to code my way out of it right now

FancyBox is a lightbox type library that I use in conjunction with another (niftycorners) to get a mac style window with rounded corners and transparency to display an inline iframe with transparency etc. It creates a very swish looking borderless window for data input/update in seconds.






If anyone is interested the working code is below, I changed the name of the Radio during testing...


{{{
//============================================================+
//Used to update the calling page.
//============================================================+
function updateParent()
{

callStatusVal = 0;

for( i = 0; i < document.updateForm.callStatus.length; i++ )
{
if( document.updateForm.callStatus[i].checked == true )
callStatusVal = document.updateForm.callStatus[i].value;
}
//alert( "Call Status Value Is = " + callStatusVal );
if (callStatusVal=='Open'){
window.parent.statusRadioOpen.checked = true;
}
if (callStatusVal=='Closed'){
window.parent.statusRadioClosed.checked = true;
}
window.parent.location = window.parent.location.href;
}
}}}
