Parent/Child Communication not working

Hi,
I have produced a form in jsp that has a search button. When the user clicks the search button a second jsp pops up and prompts the user to enter some search criteria. The criteria brings back a list of company names, just a list straight from the result set, this is NOT an input field or a textarea. Now when the user clicks on one of these companies the second pop up jsp closes and populates a field in the first jsp. My problem is that it keeps populating the 1st jsp with "undefined". I believe that it may have something to do with the way I am outputing my company list as I want the user to be able to click on the company name but am not sure how to remedy this. Can someone help?
Thanks

I believe this is the line of code that is not working for me...

out.println("<td class=\"tabletextcol\"><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"onClick=\"parent.closeSearch(search,opener.document.all.newpartner)\">" + account.getOrg() + "</a></td>");

don't you already have a thread about this? wouldn't you think it'd be more helpful to show us the HTML generated with a View > Source rather than whatever language out.println is?

I can't help but feel there is some information we are not gettinng here... for example, does the popup contain a frameset?

I ask because you are using "parent." from the popup to seemingly refer to the opener, then passing a link to the opener back to itself (assuming my first assumption was correct, of course).

Hope this helps,
Dan
