Passing data from child window to parent window

[bishwambhar_sen]

Hi all, Let me first tell u wat I am trying to do.I have created a webpage with a button.On the click of that button(html control)I am opening a new window (as a popup).Now in this new child window I have some text boxes.I enter data in those textboxes and when I click a button,I want them to be sent to the parent window without the initial content of the parent window getting lost.Please suggest me a way to do so.I have been trying javascript but to no avail.Please help me out.:confused:

in your popup window:

function OnSomethingClick()
{
var el = window.opener.document.getElementById('SomeLabelOrOther');
el.innerText = "Something else"; //obviously, you might want to change a different property

    window.close();// dont have to do that if you dont want to
}

This works for IE... havent tested with FF yet. Will do in a minute. Just did. Doesn't work in FF.

var question = (_2b || !(_2b));
