Any ideas?
The text is dynamic, so I thought at first I'd just use;
Window.open("scripts/display.php"+"?text="+messageslist.getText(),
"_blank", null);
Where display.php simply gets the text variable in the url and echo's
it back.
However, this has a very short limit on the text that can be
displayed.
Is it possible to do a simerla function with RequestBuilder? So Post
can be used correctly?
I have no idea if its possible to use RequestBuilder to open a php in
a new window, so if it isn't I would welcome workarounds if its not.
Cheers,

You could try to use JSNI to open a new window as you've already done:
It should look something like this:
Danny
It should look something like this:
native JavaScriptObject openWindow(String param) /*-{
$wnd.open('scripts/display.php' + '?text=' + messageslist.getText(), '_blank', null);
return true;
}-*/;

Thats still using the string by the URL though/"get method", which
limits the charecfters to about 100 :-/
Is it possible to do the same thing but not have the data in the url,
so it could be picked up by the php's post variable instead?
(which you can do with RequestBuilder by using new RequestBuilder
(RequestBuilder.POST....) but that dosnt open a new window.)

nope..apperently I cant use a form panel to post data to a new
window :-/
I'm happy to use any combination of php and gwt, but I cant seem to
find a neat way to get a string (of decent length) into a new window.
I could save to cookie or something, but that seems a very messy
method to use :-/

In good old javascript time i've done this like:
var popup = $wnd.open('scripts/display.php', '_blank', null);
popup.getElementById('idShowText')... // Hier get a div or smth. and
show/insert your text
var popup = $wnd.open('scripts/display.php', '_blank', null);
popup.getElementById('idShowText')... // Hier get a div or smth. and
show/insert your text

Must admit, I wasnt aware you could set text in another window from a
script running in the current one.
Still, dosnt seem to work for me
display.php has the following html;
<html>
<body>
<div id="idShowText">test</div>
</body>
</html>
And my native javascript being triggered is;
var popup = $wnd.open('scripts/printthis.php', '_blank', null);
popup.getElementById('idShowText').innerHTML="someText";
return;
The window pops up ok, but the text remains just "test", and dosnt
change to "someText".

Not quite sure why this doesn't work - try to play with it in FireBug
(you can open your window from the console and use popup-variable to
get it's elements). Does popup.getElementById('idShowText') give en
element back?

If I type;
var popup = document.open('scripts/display.php', '_blank', null);
into the console of my gwt the new window pops up.
Then typeing;
popup.getElementById('idShowText')
Results in;
TypeError: popup.getElementById is not a function
(I also tried with .innerHTML("teststrng") at the end, but that gave
the same result)
Its worth noteing that ;
document.write(popup.title);
or
document.write(popup.url);
both return undefined. (despite that a title is set).
It seems popup just isnt refering to the newly created window.

Sorry - it was a long day yesterday ;-)
popup is actually your new Window and getElementById() is the Function
that belongs to the Document object - not the Window object. So it
should be popup.document.getElementById()... And from your popup-
Window you can call window.opener.document.getElementById() to access
the parent window.

thanks for your help, thats better, but still no luck.
This time it gives me a ;
com_darkflame_client_MessageHistory_$popupWindowWithString__Lcom_darkflame_client_MessageHistory_2Ljava_lang_String_2_popup_0.document.getElementById($intern_324)
is null
error when run ver gwt.
(my gwt line is now;
popup.document.getElementById('idShowText').innerHTML="someText";
)
When typed directly at the console using firebug I get;
[Exception... "Cannot modify properties of a WrappedNative" nsresult:
"0x80570034 (NS_ERROR_XPC_CANT_MODIFY_PROP_ON_WN)" location: "JS frame
:: http://www.cuyperscode.com/CuypersCode2_WIP/CuypersCode2.html ::
anonymous :: line 91" data: no]
Any ideas?
Bit out of my depth here, I foolishly thought this would be simple ;)
