Question

Error messages show up in the pop-up window, how to fix?

Answer 1

A:

instead of writing the code directy, you can create a error-div in the opening page (seomthing in the line of:

<form name="frmUpload" ... >
<div id="error"></div>
...

which you can then fill via the popup:

echo "ERROR: Large File Size. Only less than 1mb accepted";

you write:

echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">self.opener.document.getElementById('error').innerHTML = 'ERROR: Large File Size. Only less than 1mb accepted';window.close();</script>";

(same for the other error messages)

You probably want a window.close(); around there as well if you dont do it already anyways (its a little hard to read)

Do you know why it doesnt work?

my bad, you obviously need a document as well (just adapted the code accordingly)

I dont understand, could you explain in a little bit more detail what to do?

I updated to code to what you will need. Since you open a popup (new window) you can reference back to the originating window using "opener" (you already do that to update the image (see: print ( "self.opener.SetImageFile(\"" . $imagename . "\");" );). You can use the same technique to modify the content in the parent window. By creating a div with an id (div id="error") you create a container for you error messages.you can change the content there with ELEMENT.innerHTML. To get ELEMENT you can use getElementById. I just found another typo in my code - fixed that.
