fill in a form field from a link in another browser window

3
Hi.
I´ve been developing an admin panel with a form where my client will insert data. The point is: I want to avoid him to type pictures' names.
It would be great if he just click in a link beside the proper field that open a new browser window where he choose a picture (easy so far), and when he click on the picture -or the link-, the picture name -for instance, picture01.jpg- is auto pasted in the form field.
Does anybody knows something like that?
Thanks in advance.

You can disable the text box, or you can capture key events using, for example, onkeydown, see link.

I've finally found it.
I had to modify a previous javascript taken from a web site.
Here´s the code. Field names were changed after this little test for "picture1" "p..2" "p..etc"

<HEAD>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin
function explain( name, output, msg ) {
newwin = window.open( '', '', 'scrollbars=yes,top=80,left=60,width=600,height=60 0' );
if ( !newwin.opener ) newwin.opener = self;
newwin.opener.document.bgColor = "EBEBEB";
with ( newwin.document ) {
open();
write( '<body onLoad="document.form.box.focus()">' );
write( '<form name=form ' );
write( ' onSubmit=opener.document.bgColor="EAE8E4";window.c lose()>' );
write( msg );
write( '<br>' );
write( '<p>Seleccionar una propiedad para el campo ' + name + ' aqui ' );
write( '<left>' );
write( '<?php include "include/conexion.php"; ?>' );
write( '<?php $sql = "SELECT * FROM fotos ORDER BY id DESC"; ?>' );
write( '<?php $result = mysql_query($sql); ?>' );
write( '<?php while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { ?>' );
write( '<p><img src ="prop/big/<?php echo $myrow[image_big]; ?>" width="96" height="69"/> <br /><input type=radio name=box onMouseDown=' + output + '="<?php echo $myrow[image_big]; ?>">' );
write( '<?php echo $myrow[image_title]; ?>' );
write( '<?php } ?></p>' );
write( '<input type=submit value="Enviar">' );
write( '</left></form>' );
write( '<?php include "include/cerrar_conexion.php"; ?>' );
close();

}
}
// End -->
</script>
</HEAD>


<BODY>

<div align="center">
<form name=form>
<span class=PreText>Username:</span>
<input type=text name=username size=10>
<span class=BodyText>[<a href="javascript:explain(
'User Name',
'opener.document.form.username.value',
'<font face=Verdana size=2>' +
'The user name field is where you select a user name that ' +
'you will use every time you access this site.'
);">help</a>]</span>

<br>
<span class=PreText>Password:</span>
<input type=text name=password size=10>
<span class=BodyText>[<a href="javascript:explain(
'Password',
'opener.document.form.password.value',
'<font face=Verdana size=2>' +
'The password field is where you select a unique password ' +
'for your account. This password will be required each ' +
'time you login to the site.'
);">help</a>]</span>
</form>
</div>
