Dropbox StaffYou do need to send the user to the /oauth2/authorize page for them to authorize your app, so you can't get an authorization code directly on your own page.
Instead though, you could look into either:
1) sending them there in a pop-up or new tab/window, so that they don't lose the contents of your page
or
2) saving the relevant page state somewhere, such as in local storage or a cookie, or by sending it through the Dropbox OAuth app authorization flow in the 'state' parameter, as documented here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#oauth2-authorize

Hi
Thanks for your reply but opening in new pop up will load the same page in current pop up not in the parent pop up box.
saveing data in local storage could be headche as form data may be too much.
is there ia any other solution?
