How to open new windows and return control to the opener
Dear colleagues,
does anybody know how to open a new cocoon page in a new window (I can use
JavaScript window.open) and if the opened window has submitted I want to
make a request to the opener window so that their values can be updated.
Every time after opening the window, cocoon returns a dispatcher error. It
seems like a sitemap has not be found. What is the best way to do this with
cocoon?
Thank you, best regards
- Volker -

Volker,
as far as I understood your problem, it has has nothing to do with Cocoon.
Anyway, look at the window.opener property of the "child" window, it lets
you set data inside the "mother" window's forms.

Your question is not very clear.
I assume you want to open a new window and keep using the same window when
data in the first window is changed and submitted again.
If you add the target attribute in the form tag using a name instead of
"_blank", a new window will open. ex. use <form target="newWindow"
method="post" action="newURL.html">, then a new window will open named
"newWindow". Leave this window open and submit again from the first
window. The "newWindow" window will update.
You can access the data in the new window using JavaScript from BOTH
windows. Also keep in mind that both windows are in the same session (at
least in IE).
Regarding your error in the new window, check your sitemap. Are you sure
you use the correct URL? Is your expression in the pipeline correct?
