Here is an example: 

(HTML)
<a href="www.example.com/cgi-bin/openwindow.cgi">

...User clicks link and starts CGI below

(CGI) - Open Window
...basic PERL header stuff here..
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<HMTL
<scirpt>
window.open('security_modify_information.htm'
  ,'mywindow','width=400,height=550,left=30
</script>
JAVA

(HTML - Security_modify_information.htm)
This is a form, upon submit, it checks the form fields and upon comple
+tion, it does the following:

<script>
window.close ();
</script>

[download]
The first CGI - which is opened as a child window, opens but the parent get's cleared. Then when the submit is completed, the parent neeeds to be reloaded. Hope that clears things up.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
