Open popup window with http POST data Javascript
Posted By : Akash Sharma | 24-Feb-2014
Recently I had a task to open a popup window with post request data.The popup window was linked to an action in grails where I had applied filters.
If post request data matches the condition for action, only then I had open required view.
Below is the demo code for the functionality.
Let say currently I am on a page having url as :
www.myDomain.com/demo/
and the url for popup window to open is:
www.myDomain.com/demo/myPopupView.html
Then I only need to pass relative url from current page.
This is the link for opening popup:
<a href="javascript:openPopupPage('myPopupView.html','[email protected]', 25 )">myPopupLink</a>
Below is the javascript code for opening blank page with hidden fields and submitting the form to relative url.
function openPopupPage(relativeUrl, emailId, age)
{
var param = { 'emailId' : emailId, 'age': age };
OpenWindowWithPost(relativeUrl, "width=1000, height=600, left=100, top=100, resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes", "NewFile", param);
}
function OpenWindowWithPost(url, windowoption, name, params)
{
var form = document.createElement("form");
form.setAttribute("method", "post");
form.setAttribute("action", url);
form.setAttribute("target", name);
for (var i in params)
{
if (params.hasOwnProperty(i))
{
var input = document.createElement('input');
input.type = 'hidden';
input.name = i;
input.value = params[i];
form.appendChild(input);
}
}
document.body.appendChild(form);
//note I am using a post.htm page since I did not want to make double request to the page
//it might have some Page_Load call which might screw things up.
window.open("post.htm", name, windowoption);
form.submit();
document.body.removeChild(form);
}
