asked on

passing table values from child window to parent

While a user is filling in form info, I would like to display the selection choices for the text field
 in a secondary window. Then when the user 'click's on a value from the table of the secondary
window, the value is passed back to the parent window, and  copied into the parent form's
 input text field. I have read about passing values from one form to another,but need a
 detailed example of how this would apply from window to window. Does anyone know
how this could be done in javascript?  thanks

This answer is a close resolution, however, I will need to open another .html in the window.open function call, this .html will use sql techniques to retreive data from the database and display the data choices within a table. Also, in the example provided above, the 'close();' statement is not really closing the new window. any other ideas?

thanks
