using a popup window to populate a form field fails

[Ionel Gardais <io...@geomath.fr>]

Hi,

I am using an ActionForm and the corresponding html form have text 
fields to populate it.

on of the text field is to specify a date. I use the calendar taglib to 
ease the date selection.
Calendar taglib allows to popup a window and to pick a date which executes :

javascript:opener.document.theform.thefield.value="2003/05/07";window.close();

in the calling jsp, I am using an ActionForm which includes objects that 
have fields inside.
so the code looks like :

      <tr>
        <td align=left valign=center colspan=2><bean:message 
key="prompt.meeting.start"/></td>
        <td align=left valign=center colspan=2><html:text 
property="date.start"/></td><BR>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align=left valign=top colspan=2><bean:message 
key="prompt.meeting.end"/></td>
        <td align=left colspan=2><html:text property="date.end"/></td><BR>
      </tr>


the problem is that I can't remotly set these fields because the 
javascript is now

javascript:opener.document.theform.date.start.value="2003/05/07";window.close();

and nothing happens.

I think this is because of the "date.start" stuff which confuse the 
javascript.
but I need this property to set the ActionForm fields correctly.


does anybody have an hint ?

thanks,
ionel

Try to replace this call with the following one:
javascript:opener.document.theform["date.start"].value="2003/05/07";window.c
lose();

It should work.
