Return value to parent page from popup

[Kevin Attard]

Hi,

Is there a way to return a value from a control inside a popup and assign it
to a control inside the parent form?

Thanks,
kev

How do you open the popup? With showModalDialog?

A page opened with a window.open call gets a reference to the page that
opened it in window.opener property. You can call a javascript function as

window.opener.setPopupResults ("ok");

where setPopupResults is a javascript function you can write for accepting
string values from the popup. Depending on your requirements, this function
can set the control value on client side or pass the value on to the server
to finish the job there.
