passing values between child and parent windows

[neena]

Hi
I am uing C#.net & using javacript for a popup window.

I've a form and there is a button named Categories. When it is clicked, it will open a new window for the selection of categories.
When the categories are selected from ListBox ,and the submit button of the popup window is clicked, the category id value should be set in the parent form and the popup window will close.

the problem is that the parent window form doesn't get the value of the selected listbox item of popup window.

Anyone plz help me out.

Assuming:
Mainform is the form name in the main window,
Name_field is the text box where the value must be placed,
ChildForm is the form name in the child window,
Name_field is the name of the select group:
[HTML]opener.document.forms["Mainform"].Name_field.value =
ChildForm.Name_field.options[ChildForm.Name_field.selectedIndex].value[/HTML]

I'm afraid that the basic answer is you can't. Javascript cannot communicate with server side databases.
