As for the event, the HTML generated by the RPG could include a javascript that informed the window that opened it that the cookie was now available, it would then close. -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516)627-3800 x11 WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com -----Original Message----- From: Bob Cozzi (RPGIV) [mailto:cozzi@rpgiv.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 16:45 To: web400@midrange.com Subject: RE: [WEB400] call an rpg program to return a true/false value in javascript Well I wasn't thinking of RPG being called, but consider this. You use the target (or whatever that keyword is) to open the hRef in a new windows. That hRef calls the CGI program and displays the HTML generated bye the CGI. Then you have a window with your user selection choices or whatever it is in there. Or perhaps nothing. The CGI program writes the cookie out, and also sends some HTML to the StdOut. That HTML is simply a short HTML that will close itself (hence closing the new window) and therefore return you to the call's window. Not the part I'd have to lookup... Upon resuming in the original window, there is probably an event that would need to be detected and a second JavaScript could be used to then read the cookie written by the RPG program. I'm thinking of an OnFocus() event or something like that. Something like that might work.
