Sure!

I took the title of your post and pasted it into google... and there are over 350,000 results. I glanced at the first few and they all told me. Try doing some research on your own first

Cheers,
Jeff

I don't know the answer but my good friend Google does.

thanks, BabyJeffy. I did not do a search right away. My fault.
i found the solution- like you said after a quick google search.

I have another question however:
The form I have looks like this:

function check22(num,chkval){
var retval=check(num);
if(chkval==0){ window.open('

http://localhost/reasonexchange.php...ndow','width=400,height=400,scrollbars=yes');

}
}else if (chkval==1){
return true;
}
}

This function is called below when the form is submitted
<input type="submit" name="original" value="Send Original Items As indicated Above" onClick="return check22(2);">


I want to stop the submission of the form until the child window "reasonexchange.php" sends a response to the parent window. I tried doing executing it but the form always seems
to submit right after the child window opens.

thanks
