I have a Perl CGI script (script1.pl) that kicks off another script
(script2.pl) using:
$query = new CGI;
print $query->redirect(-location=>"/mycgi/script2.pl");
script2.pl then accesses a database to gather some data, and generates an
HTML document for data entry. The document contains some javascript. From
this document the user can select a button that opens a window
(test3_window) using javascript.
window.open("/mycgi/script3.pl",'test3_window','scrollbars,menubar,resizable
,toolbar');
script3.pl queries a database, creates an HTML document, displays some data,
and allows the user to make some selections. From this document the user
can select a button that updates a text field in the document that was
opened by script2.pl.
test2_window.the_text_field.value = "some value"
The problem I am having is that in script1.pl, I do not know how to
associate the name "test2_window" with the window when I open it using CGI:
$query = new CGI;
print $query->redirect(-location=>"/mycgi/script2.pl");
How do I name a window when using a CGI redirect? Thanks.
