Thanks Mark Young,

I tried it.. but it shows me following error message.


Illegal view ID openpopup();return false;. The ID must begin with /

any idea?

Hey its done

Thanks a lot Mark for helping me

that error is due to wrong syntax of window.open() in javascript.

Thanks again

please use the {!$Page.giftcert} syntax when creating urls on your page.  It is much safer than hard coding in the url.

Hello VF Gurus,
 
Need your help!!
 
I have a requirement wherein i need to open a small pop-up window on the click of a link from a custom VF screen. This would be passed some input parameters as well.
 
It would have some fields/drop downs which the user can enter/select and on click of "Submit" these values should get saved at the back end in some custom object. Also, the parent window should get refreshed automatically as this window is closed.
 
Can you please let me know what is the best and the most efficient way of achieving this functionality? Any guidance/ideas would be of great help.
 
Many Thanks,
Cool_D
