Currently, I have a working Firefox javascript code which, on a click of a button, opens up another window where a couple new fields/parameters are populated/selected and passed to the parent window as a sub query similar to the URL rewriting.

The new page or window is popped up using modal window as follows



In the popped up child page:



The problem is that the child window opens up in both IE and Firefox. However, I am unable to display/read the session scoped parameters (dynamically obtained) in the new window in the Internet Explorer. However, I have no problems displaying these new parameters and as well as reading them.

Any suggestions or comments on why the child window or new page is not working in IE or how to fix this are appreciated?

Interestingly, I could see that the latest IE has no problems viewing the popup child window and able to display and populate some of the fields dynamically.

Any suggestions on any other good ways to do this, as I believe this is something everybody must have worked on already...

Can you rephrase that? What can you display/read and what can you not display/read? Does this pertain to either of the code examples that you provided? What are you hinting at with the phrase "dynamically obtained"?

In the popped up window, I populate a couple of parameters, essentially I read a couple of input field names from Session as in,



however, I see that in Internet Explorer, in the popped up window as discussed in my first post, I cannot read the session scoped variables and hence I get the select with no options in it.. I think I cannot make this is the best I can explain. Any suggestions on any other ways to do this? Or am I going wrong anywhere?

Thanks
Rama
