Pass a value to a parent window??

**Smirre** · Mar 27th, 2002, 09:10 AM

I have a frame page that has a page in the "main" frame. The page in the main frame has a form. On this form there are buttons and text boxes. When I click a button a new window opens. This window has a form with buttons and text boxes.

When I click on a button on the new window i want to pass a value to a textbox on the old window.

How do I do this???

Try this : -

Code For Window 1 (Parent Window)

Code:

<head>
<title>Page1</title>
</head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(){
  win = window.open('2.htm');
	win.creator = self;
}
//-->
</script>

<body>
<form name="form1">
  <input type="text" name="text1">
	<input type="button" value="Popup" onclick="popup()">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Code For Window 2 (Child Window)

Code:

<html>

<title>Page2</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
  function passBack(){
	  creator.document.form1.text1.value = document.form2.text2.value;
	}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form2">
  <input type="button" value="Pass Value" onclick="passBack()">
