Re: [PHPLIB] Calling Javascript from php From: little kulit (kulittle <email protected>)
Date: 01/24/00

Currently this is how I'm doing it. The problem is
that I still need to pass information to the js
function that are not in the input form field. I also
don't know how to pass values from the js function to
the new window (I'm still doing some research on
this).

Thankx.
