Please see below for what i think your after:

// This would be your initial page. Click the button and the popup opens with a text box and button to add your web address
<body>
    <form name="OrigForm">
        <input type='button' value='Email' name='btnImg' onclick='window.open("popup.htm","popup","width=200,height=50")'>
        <input type="text" id="WebAddress" name="WebAddress">
    </form>
</body>
 
//This would be the content of popup.htm. This allows a user to add a webaddress, click the button and the address is written back to the main page and the popup closes.
<script>
	function AddAddress(){
		window.opener.document.getElementById('WebAddress').value=document.getElementById('myWebAddress').value;
		window.close();
	}
</script>
<body>
<form name="myForm">
    	Enter Webaddress: <input type="text" id="myWebAddress" name="myWebAddress"> <input type="button" value="Add" onClick="AddAddress();">
    </form>
</body>
