i have a web page with 2 submit buttons.

when button1 is presses, a child window should open and the pressed data displayed in the child.

when button2 is pressed the server should process the input and then close the existing window.

i'm currently doing this with 2 forms and duplicating the input fields. this is ugly.

var qsParm = new Array();

function qs() {

var query = window.location.search.substring(1);

var parms = query.split('&');

for (var i=0; i<parms.length; i++) {

var pos = parms[i].indexOf('=');

if (pos > 0) {

var key = parms[i].substring(0,pos);

var val = parms[i].substring(pos+1);

qsParm[key] = val;

}

}

}
