I'm opening a popup window, and I need to send or recieve values from a form in the parent window...

ok sorry still a bit vague.
You have a text box called textbox1 and a link next to it sayin search.
when the user clicks search a pop up opens.
inside the pop up u use asp to fill a textbox2 with data.
then when the user clicks close the data in textbox2 is passed back to textbox1
yea?

Sorry :)
1. Open a popup window.
2. Use javascript in the popup to request a value from a form element in the parent window.
Parent window:
<form id="form1">
<input type="hidden" id="hiddenvalue" name="hiddenvalue" value="value">
</form>
Popup:
<script language="javascript">
var formvalue=I need the value from hiddenvalue in form1 here
</script>
I know that I could pass the value to the popup window when opening it, but I need to be able to get the value whenever I want in the popup window... Don't ask why .. too much to explain :)

Did anyone ever figure out how to do this?
Using an onmouseover event I would like to launch a popup containing a table of values and pass the selected value back to the form field just like a date picker.

I am confused, I think that this is fairly easy, you can use javascript to populate a form (that can be hidden) and then pass the from results to an asp page and capture the data. If this is what you need I can give you the code, if not, please explain further.

Hi probinu,
I might well be making this more difficult than it is. I have a page (asp.form) that displays data from a database. There is one field to be completed and then it is resubmitted to the database to be archived.
I just want the user to be able to select the value for this field from a popup window (popup.html). I could have the popup submit directly to the database but would prefer the value to be inserted into the text field on the form. Can't figure out how I get the value from the popup into the form field?
Don't know if that clarifies or not.
Thanks for looking at it.

I can help you with this, but first I have a question. Does it have to be a text field or can it be a list or drop down menu? I think you could save time, if not I will code it for you the other way.

Hi probinu,
This is a form that displays a Risk Assessment Report pulling data from a database. Someone then has to grade the risk using Risk Matrix displayed in a table. I had considered at drop down but it would not have as much visual impact as a color coded table.
I wondered if an alternative approach to trying to pass the value from the popup to the page might be to use a dynamic tooltip to in effect copy the value from one form to another.
I think that I could use a dual appraoch of a popup to display the Matrix and a dhtml drop down menu with color coded child menus from which to make the actual selection.

in the parent window, paste this code:
function returnValue(sValue) {
document.thisParentForm.txtName.value= sValue;
}
in the popup window;
eg. after u key in or select a value to teh textbox(txtThisValue), click on a button, let say, Ok button
so when u click teh ok button call this:
function submitValue(){
window.opener.returnValue(document.thisChildForm.txtThisValue);
window.close();
}
replace the thisParentForm and thisChildForm by your own form name.
