pass variable to another form

[GoTerps88]

I have a button that the user clicks to pop up a javascript calendar I created. I'm just using the standard windows.open(url) etc. How can I pass data from the parent form to this popup form?

Thanks...

GoTerps, just pass the variables in the URL:

windows.open(url.asp?MyVariable=Hello)

And then use whatever server side code your using to collect it when the window opens.

Thanks,

But I need to process this variable within the client-side javascript within the popup form or child form. This will not be processed on the server.

You can still do this using javascript.

var qsParm = new Array();
function qs() {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var parms = query.split('&');
for (var i=0; i<parms.length; i++) {
var pos = parms[i].indexOf('=');
if (pos > 0) {
var key = parms[i].substring(0,pos);
var val = parms[i].substring(pos+1);
qsParm[key] = val;
}
}
}

Cheers

Nick

Create variables in the parent page to get the data from the popup. Then, from inside the popup push the data into those variables. Something like this:

var a = 1234;

parent.window["a"] = 5678

Thanks for the replies.

I did this via the child or popup window.

document.getElementById('txt').value = self.opener.document.forms[0].elements['txtReleaseDate'].value
