Finding Values and More with Web Page Dialog Boxes - Easy Way of Creating Descendant Dialog Boxes (Page 2 of 4 )
By the word “descendant” here, I am referring to a child, grandchild, great-grandchild, and so forth, going down the chain. Remember, in part three of this series, I promised that I would show you an easy way of producing dialog boxes.
This is the basic code for the main window:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
//strings, where each string has the content of a dialog box.
Note the argument of the write() function., which is boxStr1. Now, boxStr1 is the variable of a string, whose content is the document (HTML content) of the first dialog box. This string is defined somewhere up in the main window. A function of interest is:
function sendRefBack(theRef)
{
return window.self;
}
This function is called by descendant windows. It sends the reference of the main window to the calling window. The HTML content of each dialog box is in a string, which is in the main window. A descendant dialog box needs a string from the main window to produce its child window. The descendant box uses the reference from the main window to do this.
