Struts and Popup

[Bruno Frascino]

Hi there,
how to show a popup when a I click in a button on my page?
tnks!

That 'popup' would be on the client browser end right? So it would have to be embedded jscript/javascript/vbscript/etc in the html. It has nothing to do with struts/servlets/jsp.

Hi Billy,
but... i need information posted to my popup that I'll will get in my action. So, struts is involved.

Struts is not 'involved' per se.
Ok, so you're executing a jsp or servlet or whatever, and returning some html page to the client right? And while generating that (dynamic) html, you generate the (dynamic) embedded javascript as well.

Man, i don't got it!
Let me explain better... these are some code
from my JSP page that will call the popup:

 <html:form action="LoadPopup.do"> ... 
 <input type="submit" name="spop" value="My Popup" />
 </html:form>
 

from my struts-config.xml:

 
 <form-bean name="callPopupForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
 <form-property name="someName" type="java.lang.String"/>
 </form-bean>
 <action name="callPopupForm" path="/LoadPopup" scope="request" type="example.action.LoadPopupAction" validate="false">
 <forward name="myPopup"  path="/example/myPopup.jsp"/>

from my Action LoadPopup:

 
...
public class LoadPopupAction extends org.apache.struts.action.Action {
 public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
 DynaActionForm callPopupForm = (DynaActionForm) form;
 //GET INFO FROM A BD//
 
 callPopupForm.setAttribute("someName", infoFromBD );
 request.setAttribute(mapping.getAttribute(), callPopupForm);
 // Forward to the appropriate View
 return (mapping.findForward("myPopup"));
 }
}
 

But, this way will show my page "myPopup.jsp" on the same window, i need a popup, a new window...
I don't know where (in the code) i have to implement this... could you help me?

Try this:
<html:form action="LoadPopup.do" target="new">
