hey,

i have a webpage with a form on it. on that form i have a link to a popup window that has a "add new member" form. however once the user fills in the popup form and submits it i want to grab the first name field from the popup)"add new member" form and pass it my original form (the parent form)

index1.html *********************************
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function myOpen(url) {
window.open(url,'popupwindow','width=300,height=300');

}
//--></SCRIPT>

<A HREF="javascript:myOpen('index2.html')">Open window</A>

<form method=post action="">
<input type="text" name="test">
</form>
**********************************************

index2.html (POPUP WINDOW)*****************************

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
var x;
x = document.form2.first_name.value;
opener.popupwindow.document.form1.test.value = x;

//--></SCRIPT>
</head>
