Passing values to and from popup window.

Given that this is a free service, where members give their time for free, you should be a little less hasty to expect an instant reply.

Having said that, this should give you what you need to know.

When opening a popup window, you can get the handle to that window returned to you:

var winHandle = window.open(url, winName, args);

and then use that handle to reference the opened window:

winHandle.document.forms[0].myFormEl.value = 'wibble';

From the popup, you can use the "opener" property of the window object to refer to the opener:

window.opener.document.forms[0].otherFormEl.value = 'bibble';

Suggest you read up onthe window.open method here:

and the window object (and thus opener property) in general, here:

Hope this helps,
