@KorMar 06.2004 — new window opens as a window.open() style (pop-up) or as a iframe/frame style?

window.open()

@KorMar 06.2004 — [b]window.opener[/b] is the reference which will fire or find the function or object on opener ("parent") page.

@KorMar 06.2004 — use another parameter

in opener

[code=php]
<script>
function bla(a,b){
document.forms[0].elements[b].value = a;
}
</script>
[/code]

in first opened page

<input type="text" onkeyup="window.opener.bla(this.value,'b1')">

in second

<input type="text" onkeyup="window.opener.bla(this.value,'b2')">

... aso

and gives your buttons names b1, b2... Or whiever name you want, but keep the correspondence between names and second parameter passed to the function
