hai kala,

i think you can refer to the parent window(window that opened another window) using window.parent(please check the syntax).

so when u click the submit button in the new window,
pass all the values to javascript and use the following

window.current.close(check syntax).
window.parent.href =
"parent_window_url?var1="+val1+"var2="+val2;

you probably need to use window.opener and not window.parent.

the easiest way to pass parameters back to the parent would be to implement a jscript function in the parent something like:

function myFunc(par1, par2)
{
doWhateverYouWantHere()
}

then do the following once the submit button is pressed:

function onSubmitClicked
{
window.opener.myFuc(par1, par2);
window.opener.href="whatEverURL";
window.close();
}

kala21, please feel free to reject the proposed answer if it does not completely solve your problem.

When the submit button is pressed, is any kind of script on the server called?

The possible solutions for your questions are:
1) You can use

2)window.close()
and
3) opener.document.location.reload();

All the best,
