How to get back to mother page after popup

["F. Da Costa Gomez" <dc...@fixed.com>]

Hi,

Just created a tree-selector component to be used from a popup(link) window.
Im wondering about the following however.
Once I do submit on the selector it will go to the appropriate listener 
from there I can do some processing and then I'll have to fire off the 
originating mother-page again.
1. So the page reply is NOT supposed to go back to the popup window 
(that just stays where it is, or I send back an empty version) AND,
2. the original mother window must be re-filled with the newly rendered 
page.

The 1 seems to be a matter of *cycle.setPage("TreePageComponentName");*
The thing that eludes me however is how to get back to the mother-window 
waiting to be re-rendered!

If anybody could help me out here it would be much appreciated.

Once the above is ok I want to run the tree by tsvetelin from tacos 
before releasing it. Maybe some of the bits are usefull for others as well.

TIA,
Fermin DCG

Absolutely no worries at all,

I appreciate (as do many others I reckon) the effort being put in 
Tapestry for it allows me to do stuff otherwise not as easily 
accomplished. Hopefully the tree will come together quickly so that I 
can make a contribution back.
So if a q gets answered later or somewhat more alternative? ... shrug ...

C'm on yr writing a book, (probably looking at a self-imposed deadline 
as well), doing the 3.0 beta stuff and whatever else. Assuming y'r human 
  I can only say thx 4 taking the time to answer at all.

Obviously the Q still stands but I'll just go on until I figure it out.

Cheers

Sorry if I'm too curt ... I'm being pulled in a million different directions at the momement, trying
to squeeze in Tapestry questions on the side.

I'm assuming y'r referring to the statement being executed from the 
popup-window. Right?

Ah, but this is the nice (or not so nice?) part. Everything that needs 
to be done is on the server.
The popup only is a (tree)mechanism to select items (objects/ lines to 
inserted into a table) to be added to the motherpage.
It can have checked items that are hidden from the popup-view at the 
moment of submission (the user can click and open & close until he 
decides that its enough).
At this time only the server knows what objects are required (they could 
be x levels deep) so updating from the popup to the mother won't do it. 
It only knows its current state and that could be completely different 
from what is required.

I can get back to the popped-up window when clicking 'Open selector' 
again on the mother.

I'm not sure but sometimes things are so implicit to me that I am not 
explicit enough.
If my explanation is not clear enough please lemme know because then 
I'll try to describe it more clearly. After all its not just about the Q 
its also about the way you formulate the Q.

That is much more of a JavaScript question than a Tapestry question.

This is off the top of my head, so look for errors.

You need to execute the code:

window.opener.url = "...";

In the popup window; this will cause the window from which the popup was spawned to update. 

I've implemented a CloseWindow page that executes that JavaScript, plus:

window.close();
