passing values from child pop up window to parent window

8 New Member

can anyone help me, i have a php form and i have a view form which contains data in a table from the database.
what i am trying to do is that when i click the "List of Checks button" beside the text box check no. a pop up window will be displayed containing the data from the database(somehow i already managed to do that)

what i can't do is that i want to pass the value of the selected check no to be passed to the parent form in the check no text box.

it will be like the values of the check no column can be clicked and when the user selects a particular check no it will be passed to the original form and the pop up window will be closed.

can anyone help me.
