return value from showmodaldialog

[Tony WONG]

there is a "Main" page to call for "phonebook" page by showModalDialog, like
below

var phoneno = window.showModalDialog("phonebook.asp","Dialog Box Arguments #
1"...............

now i am able to store the data at the variable - ABC at the phonebook page

How can i put ABC back to the "Main" page at form "formsend",
element_textbox "text1"?

i am not familiar with javascript but i trust javascript can do it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Tony

In the page that opens the modal:
document.formsend.text1.value = window.showModalDialog(.....);

And then in your modalDialog page:

returnValue = ABC;
