[Zope] Re: [Zope-dev] Javascript wizards wanted for Zope project

The following example works in IE 4 and 5. Our company has standardized on
IE so I have not yet tested this with Netscape but it should work there too.
This is a a variation on a line out of an active page.:

<input type=text name=address size=40 name=address maxlength=40
value=<dtml-var "_.string.strip(address)" null=''>
onChange="opener.document.ContactForm.address.value=this.value">

This updates a  field in the browser window that opened the window this code
is in.

Have also used nothing but javascipt in a child window to update fields in a
parent window. The child form on load updates all the fields in the window
that called it and then closes itself. This is handy when you have a complex
data entry form with a lot of javascript functions (money formatting,
autocalcs, ...)and a number of large select lists (some with 100 plus
items). Using this routine, when you save a change to the form, you don't
have to waste pipe space reloading the form, you just update the data.
