I have a page, which opens a popup window through javascript. I want to get a form filled on this and get closed, sumbitting data to opener, when submitted. How can I go about this?

re: submit to opener

Use the target to point to the parent window using its name (if it has one).

Set the target in the HTML (see link ) or set using javascript:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. //frm is a reference to the form:
  2. frm.target = "win1";
