posting form values from popup to opening window

Hi everyone!

Okay so posting form values from one window to another isn’t very hard (something like window.opener.forms[0].blahdeblah.value=’whatever’) but i’m having trouble – my problem seems to be caused by the fact that the page i’m posting from is on a different site to the page that opened it!

i presume this is considered a security issue and previously i had just assumed that this is not possible – but recently i’ve found that it IS possible (see the ‘Postcode Anywhere Website’ option on [url]http://www.postcodeanywhere.co.uk[/url] – i can’t figure out what they’re doing to post the information back which is why i’m posting this here).

anyway, i hope someone can help!!
