How Do I Use jQuery/JavaScript To Open A Popup Window/Tab (ASPX Login Page) & Then Pass Values To Op
- by Terry Robinson
Hi All,
We currently have two asp.net 2.x web applications and we need to perform the following functionality:
From one application, we want to auto-login to the other web application automatically in a new tab; using the same browser instance/window.
So the process is:
Open New Window/Tab With Second System URL/Login Page
Wait For Popup Window/Tab Page To Load (DOM Ready?)
OnPopupDomReady
{
Get Usename, Password, PIN Controls (jQuery Selectors) and Populate In Code Then Click Login Button (All Programatically).
}
I am currently using JavaScript to Open the window as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('a[rel="external"]').click(function ()
{
window.open($(this).attr('href'));
return false;
});
});
</script>
I would like to use jQuery chaining functionality if possible to extent the method above so that I can attach a DOM Ready event to the popped up page and then use that event to call a method on the code behind of the popped up page to automatically login. Something similar to this (Note: The Following Code Sample Does Not Work, It Is Here To Try And Help Illustrate What We Are Trying To Achieve)...
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('a[rel="external"]').click(function () {
window.open($(this).attr('href').ready(function ()
{
// Use JavaScript (Pref. jQuery Partial Control Name Selectors) To Populate Username/Password TextBoxes & Click Login Button.
})
});
});
</script>
Our Architecture Is As Follows:
We have the source for both products (ASP.NET WebSite[s]) and they are run under different app. pools in IIS.
I hope this all makes sense, and if my plan is not going to work, please provide hints ;)
Thanks All/Kind Regards,
Terry Robinson.
