Pass values between parent and popup window

1 New Member

hi,

I am writing a small java script code where , when the textbox is clicked a pop up window is opened . on entering some data in the text area present in pop up window and pressing ''save" button the pop up is closed and the value is put in the text box of parent window. Now the value is getting passed from pop up to parent but from parent to pop up i am unable to pass the value.

the following is the code to pass the value from pop up to parent window:

[HTML]<script type="text/javascript">
function abc()
{
var wind1=null;
var tmp=null;
wind1 = window.open('', 'displayWindow' , 'width=400,heig ht=300,status=n o,toolbar=no,me nubar=no,scroll bars=1');
wind1.document. write("<script> function alert1(f){");
wind1.document. write("var frmdst=f.ta.val ue;");
wind1.document. write("window.o pener.tmp=frmds t;");
wind1.document. write("window.o pener.getValues ();");
wind1.document. write("window.c lose();");
wind1.document. write("}<\/script>");
wind1.document. write("<html><b ody><form action='#' name='myform' action='post'>< TEXTAREA rows='2' cols='20' name='ta'></TEXTAREA><br><I NPUT type='button' value='save' onclick='javasc ript:alert1(thi s.form);'><INPU T type='button' value='cancel' onclick='javasc ript:window.clo se();'></form></body></html>");
}
function getValues()
{
document.forms["source"].elements["srctext"].value = tmp;
}

</script>
<html>
<body>
<form action="#" name="source" method="get">
<input type="text" onclick='abc(); ' name="srctext" value="" />
</form>
<body>
</html>[/HTML]

Please help me out in getting the data from parent to pop up window.
Thanks in advance .

To pass values from the parent window to the popup window is even simpler. Declare wind1 as a global variable and once you've opened a window using window.open() assigned to wind1, wind1 now contains a reference to the popup window. For example, to access and set the value of the textarea in the popup window:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 wind1.document.forms["myform"].elements["ta"].value = "whatever you want to set it to...";
