getting info from a popup window

[mark1110]

I am using the windows.open function to pop up a window that I wrote using HTML. I have the name, address, city, state, zip text field along with a radio button and list menu. How can I pass the information from this pop up window back to the original htlm page?

For example:

window.open("customerInfo.html",abc);
// need to get the info back from the html code and use it here.

Thanks,

Mark

You would use the opener property of the window object. So from the popup:

window.opener.document.forms['myForm'].elements['someElement'].value = 'abc';

If there were a form called "myForm" with an element called "someElement" in the main window, that would set its value.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Or if you have a global variable in the opening window you can use:

window.opener.[i]varname[/i] = 'abc';
