Popup value returned to parent window

384 256MB

I have a page that has this code that opens a popup winodw, I need the value thats clicked on to be added to the span on the parent page, can anyone help? Also if you click something from the popup window and something already exists in the span it will append the new value to the exist value in the span?

I greatly appreciate any help here, thanks.

Parent page:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <a href="#" onClick="targetitem = document.forms[0].related;dataitem = window.open('popup2.php','dataitem','width=200, height=100, top=10, left=300');dataitem.targetitem = targetitem">add</a> <label name="related"></label>
 

Popup page:

I've gotten to the stage where I'm not getting any JS errors but I can't get the popup box value to append to the label on the parent page, can anyone point me in the right direction please?
