Set form field from popup window in JavaScript?
I have a page that pops up a window via JavaScript. On that page, I want to list out several options as hyperlinks. When the user clicks a link, I want the popup window to close and to select an item in a combobox based on what the user clicked. So for example, say I have the following items in a combobox on the main screen:
1
2
3
4
5
On the popup window, I have the following links:
1
2
3
4
5
When the user clicks say 2, the window closes, and item 2 gets selected in the combobbox. Any help or examples would be appreciated.
