hey guys,
I was wondering if anybody have done it.. I'm not even sure if it's possible. Basically the users would like to have a "message box" like pop up that would show an edit box so they can enter data when they click a link.. make sense?
This was brought up since we have a page that requires an edit box to be filled by numeric value but once you click save a saveedit peoplecode triggers and checks all the fields on level0 if there are any changes and if there are a message box appears warning the user about the change. Since we'll be expecting alot of questions about that warning if it pops up everytime they change that specific field we thought about a link be placed to bring the user to another page so they can fill that field up and then go back to the original page without problem (or any error message for that matter). and they thought it would be nice if the page would be like a pop up message box with an input field.
any thoughts? or is a new page the only option?

let me know.

thanks!!!

I'm kind of confused here. It first sounds like you are checking for fieldchange on the page but then you said you want to take them to a page or give them a pop up message with a field to fill it out. Are you trying to check for required fields on the page or?

Re: pop up page??

No, see the thing is, on the Customer Contract Module there's a page that when you change any field on the level0, the SaveEdit will trigger a code that will show a pop up message warning. It will not do anything on the changed fields, it will just give the user a warning.
Now, with that said, I needed a field on the level0 of that page, and I need to display a field that will show how much an awarded amount is given to that contract. So, with that field on that level and with that warning on that SaveEdit, everytime a user awards an amount to a contract a warning pop up message appears after every push of the SAVE button. So, to work around that we decided to just put a link on that page to another page on the same component so that the user can go to that page and update the AWARD AMOUNT and go back to the original page and just show it on a display only box.
Moving foward, since we decided to take that route, I did a transfer on the link (component peoplecode) to go to that page. Transfer( False, MenuName."MENUNAME", BarName."USE", ItemName."COMPNAME", Page."PAGENAME", "U"); . But, when I go to the specified page, it will give me a search button and after I search it will just go back to the previous page....

Does it make sense?

Thanks in advance for your help.

If there only one input item to be taken from the user, have you tried using the peopletools Input box?
thanks
