you will need (javascript) something like this:

function myClick()
{
var popupCtrl = document.getElementById('popupControl');
var parentTextbox = window.parent.document.getElementById('parentTextb ox');

if (popupCtrl != null)
{
parentTextbox .innerText = popupCtrl .innerText;
}
else
{
alert('please enter a value');

}

window.close();
}

I've done something similar. I couldn't find the parent page, but the code on the pop up looked like this:

function send() {
   window.opener.document.all.<%=request("box")%>.style.background = colorpicker;
   window.opener.change_color(<%=right(request("box"),1)%>,colorpicker)
   window.close();
 
}
 

The code sends a color picked in the pop-up window to be a new background color for some object in the parent window (sent to the popup window as "box"). I can't remember what the change_color function does. but if you wanted to pass the value from the popup to a textfield, the code should be:

function send() {
   window.opener.document.all.text1.value = popUpValue;
   window.close();
 
}
 

I hope my javascript syntax is passable.
