Okay, I saw the perfect code to do this if they're on the same page, but...

I need to open a pop-up with a link,select one radio button, submit (closing the popup) and passing the value of the selected radio to automatically fill in a specific text box.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks.

Thanks, but I am a novice at JS... having object issues with the above, and also it needs to be submitted va the submit button, not directly on click.
I have this:
---Originating page---
<form name=&quot;myform&quot; action=&quot;actionpage.htm&quot;>
<p>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;T1&quot; size=&quot;20&quot; value=&quot;&quot;>
</p>
<p><a href=&quot;receive.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;>click to open</a></p>
</form>

---Popup picker page---
<form>
<p><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;T1&quot; size=&quot;20&quot;></p>
<p><input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;R1&quot; value=&quot;V1&quot; onClick=&quot;opener.myform.t1.value=this.value&quot;>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;R1&quot; value=&quot;V2&quot; onClick=&quot;opener.myform.t1.value=this.value&quot;>
</p>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot;>
</form>

What is wrong with this picture?
Thanks in advance...

Javascript is case-sensitive, i.e. in Javascript
&quot;Hello&quot; is not equal &quot;hello&quot;
in your opener oage your field names are witha capital T i.e. name=&quot;T1&quot;
and in the pop-up page you refer to the as opener.myform.t1.value

so, change that to opener.myform.T1.value --------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the tip (I am a CF coder - I forget about case-sensitivity), but it is still not the issue.
My code now reads:
---Originating page---
<form name=&quot;myform&quot; action=&quot;actionpage.htm&quot;>
<p>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;T1&quot; size=&quot;20&quot; value=&quot;&quot;>
</p>
<p><a href=&quot;receive.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;>click to open</a></p>
</form>

---Popup picker page (receive.htm)---
<form>
<p><input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;R1&quot; value=&quot;V1&quot;
onClick=&quot;opener.myform.T1.value=this.value&quot;>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;R1&quot; value=&quot;V2&quot;
onClick=&quot;opener.myform.T1.value=this.value&quot;>
</p>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot;>
</form>

I get the error 'opener.myform' is not an object.
So close, yet so far.... argh.

Thanks, but no, it still doesn't like it.
Perhaps I should try to make a function in the header that the submit button calls??

As it is now:
Netscape tells me 'opener has no properties'
Explorer says 'opener.document is not an object'

Code: 
opener
only exists in the window that was just opened using JavaScript. If you are dealing with a window that is not a popup,
Code: 
opener
will simply return
Code: 
null
.

Basically, put the code in the popup, not the window that opened it.

I had the code in the popup, but you made another great point that WORKS!! I was not opening the popup with javascript, only with a normal href with a target of _blank...

Thanks!!!
For others, final code:

---Originating page---
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function OpenWin(URL,Name,features) {
window.open(URL,Name,features);
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; text=&quot;#000000&quot;>
<form name=&quot;myform&quot;>
<p>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;T1&quot; size=&quot;20&quot; value=&quot;&quot;>
</p>
<p><a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;OpenWin('receive.htm','top','width=210,height=100')&quot;>click to open</a></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

---Receiving page (popup) with radio boxes----
<html>
<body bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; text=&quot;#000000&quot;>
<form>
<p>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;R1&quot; value=&quot;V1&quot; onClick=&quot;opener.document.myform.T1.value=this.value&quot;>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;R1&quot; value=&quot;V2&quot; onClick=&quot;opener.document.myform.T1.value=this.value&quot;>
</p>
</form>

</body>
</html>
