2) i'm sure there are.
back to (1), here's a basic example:
main page:
Code:
<form name="f1">
<input type="text" name="t" />
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.page.com/page.html');[/URL] return false;">Click To Fill Text Box</a>
</form>on page.html:
Code:
<script language="javascript"><!--
function doCalc() {
var theVal = 3 + 2;

I created two pages.
new1.htm and new2.htm
New1.htm with this code for the body:
<body>
<form name="f1">
<input type="text" name="t" />
<a href="#" onclick="window.open(' return false;">Click To Fill Text Box</a>
</form>
</body>
The other, new2.htm code was this code:
<body><script language="javascript"><!--
function doCalc() {
var theVal = 3 + 2;
opener.forms['f1'].elements['t'].value = theVal;
window.close();
}
--></script>
<a href="#" onclick="doCalc(); return false;">Click Me</a>
</body>
Do you see what I am missing? I am really new to this as you might notice.
I'd gladly pay you on Thursday
for a hamburger today!

Yeah, I see what you're doing wrong. You're taking my advice. 
Sorry, I left one thing out. The relevant line of code should be:
And additionally, it is good practice to put <script> ... </script> between your <head></head> tags.

I am still getting the same thing. Nothing.
Forgive my rather simple quesitons, but...should I be adding anything where the # href is?
I did replace the opener.forms['f1'].elements['t'].value = theVal;
With
opener.document.forms['f1'].elements['t'].value = theVal;
and added my javascript to the head tags on page two.

Awesome! I think it was working the first time, but I didn't test it in anything other than this dern AOL.
When I went into ie it worked like a charm!
Thanks for sticking with me on this one cLFlaVa!
I greatly appreciate the information and I am a better programmer now! We must go celebrate a victory!
Yeeeessssss!
