I guess my problem is how to approach the fact that my submit image
button does some work...
i.e., sets some values and of course ec.saveChanges(). Then I want it
to close and of course refresh
the parent window. It seems I can do either but not both.
How do you do it?

I think "window.close();" is what you want, not "self.close();"
although I'm no javascript expert (I know just enough to get by, and
research how to do things as they come up. The Javascript FAQ at
www.irt.org is very valueable for 'recipes' of how to do certain
things in javascript, from simple to complex).
I don't see any reason why the onclick shouldn't work, but when I want
a hyperlink that _only_ executes javascript, and does not actually
load a URL, I personally use a different idiom:
href="javascript: someJavascirpt(); return void 0;"
That has always worked better for me than messing with onclick---I use
onclick only if I want some javascript to happen upon click, but ALSO
want a URL loaded.
As far as your other question: I can't see any reason why
JSModalWindow shouldn't be in a WORepetition. On my machine (which is
WO 5.2.1, though), I don't get a WOBuilder validation error from doing
this. What is the specific text of the validation error WO gives you?
Regardless, it is sometimes okay to just ignore WOBuilder validation
errors, when it gets things wrong, and see if it works at runtime
anyhow.

Hello -
I am a bit confused on bit of JSModalWindow...
On the calling page I have an action that does the usual
nextPage assignment with some initializations and my
window pops up perfectly. Upon cancel I do a
onClick binding with "self.close();";
However I can't seem to figure out how to close the window
on my submit button. It does perform my submits action method,
i.e., it update the database, but it doesn't close the window!?
I have tried binding onClick = "opener.refresh();self.close();";
and
onClick = "self.close();opener.refresh();";
but it neither closes the window or refreshes the window. Any
thoughts here ?
Thanks
