Ok I've been trying to do this but without success:
I have a button on my urlChooser page:
protected void Button1_OnClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
String sURL = this.ImageURL_txtbox.Text; // selected url
string strScript = "<SCRIPT>window.opener.SendBackURLTOMainPage(' " + sURL +
"'); window.opener.document.forms(0).submit();self.clos e();</SCRIPT>";
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.G etType(),"ClosePopup",
strScript);
}
and the javascript function in my main page is:
<script type="text/javascript">
function SendBackURLTOMainPage (val)
{
document.getElementById('TextBox1').value=val;
}
</script>
However, the urlChooser page comes up with an error when I click the button,
and the urlChooser window doesn't close. The error says there's an invald
character in this line:
<SCRIPT>window.opener.SendBackURLTOMainPage('/WebSite1/Uploads/XPS1/admin2/Civic_photo.gif');
window.opener.document.forms(0).submit();self.clos e();</SCRIPT>
(forgive me but I'm not too familiar with javascript)

Write this code, on click event on button leads to close the popup.
/* Start from here*/
String sURL ='' // selected url
string strScript = "<SCRIPT>window.opener.SendBackURLTOMainPage(' + sURL
+'); window.opener.document.forms(0).submit();
self.close();</SCRIPT>";
Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("ClosePopup", strScript);
/* Ends here*/
Declare the this javascript function SendBackURLTOMainPage(val) in the
main
page (aspx)
hdnURL is the hidden variable which store the selected URL from the popup
page.
function SendBackURLTOMainPage (val)
{
document.getElementById("hdnURL").innerText = val;
}
all the best,

(without a postback on the current page).
I have a form on 'page1' with various text input boxes. One box contains
an
image URL. To select the url , the user can click on a browse button to
open
a url chooser pop up ('page2'). I want the url that is selected in
'page2'
to be posted back to 'page1' and displayed in the input box, without
losing
the values a user has already input in the other textboxes on page1.
I can use the 'previouspage' method, but I don't think this can work with
popups can it? I don't want the user to lose any of the other textboxes
if
they have to browse to the url chooser page then return to the page1.
hopefully that all makes sense.
