Hi Gurus & Experts,

I have to trigger a workflow through portal html. How can I do this?

My work scenerio is as follows ..

When an employee goes to an ess screen and opens the open enrollment form of benefits. he will be displayed with a list of insurance plans.

If he chooses a new plan which he is not enrolled, the screen throughs another screen showing to add the selected plan. Here

present situation is --- that screen directly updates the r/3 infotype through its server.

Required situation --- when the person adds the new plan a new pop up as to be triggerred with yes or no button. If he press yes, workflow as to trigger for an approval first then update the datbase infotypes in r/3

Can anyone help me with following questions

1. How to create a pop up in html

2. how to trigger a workflow when the employee press yes button in pop up window in html.

Please help me.

I forgot to say one more thing that we use gui with html . sap 4.6c.

Coonecting to html screens is done through ITS server.

I dont know how do we pass data from html pop up screen to ITS Server to trigger a workflow.

How do I write coding for the POP Up window with two buttons yes or no to display in html when some one press on submit for enrolling into a new plan?

How do I receive the response and trigger my workflow for approval when some one press yes button in the pop up window?

Did you try posting these questions in the forum? I think you will have a better chance of getting your answer than here. I don't think there will be many HTML programmers in this forum.
