Hello,

you can send some data by javascript to your parent window
for this, you need to add a reference to the opener in the showModalDialog call

newdata = window.showModalDialog('2.html', self,'dialogWidth:300px;dialogHeight:175px;help:No;resizable:No;status:No;center:yes' );

(just replaced '' by self)

Then, in the popup dialog, add the following function
<script language=javascript>
function CloseCalculator() {
var opener = window.dialogArguments;
opener.A.value=A1.value;
....
opener.E.value=E1.value;
window.close();
}</script>

Full script below

<!-- main.htm -->
 
<html><head><title>Main</title>
<script language=javascript>
function OpenCalculator() {
window.showModalDialog('2.htm', self,'dialogWidth:300px;dialogHeight:175px;help:No;resizable:No;status:No;center:yes' );
}
</script>
</head> <body><center>
<font color=red>Copy data from popup page<br>
<input type=text name=A size=3 readOnly onclick ="OpenCalculator();" style="cursor:hand">
<input type=text name=B size=3 readOnly ><input type=text name=C size=3 readOnly >
<input type=text name=D size=3 readOnly ><input type=text name=E size=3 readOnly >
</body> </html>
 
<!-- 2.htm -->
<html><head><title>New Page 2</title>
<script language=javascript>
function CloseCalculator() {
var opener = window.dialogArguments;
opener.A.value=A1.value;
opener.B.value=B1.value;
opener.C.value=C1.value;
opener.D.value=D1.value;
opener.E.value=E1.value;
  window.close();
}</script></head>
<body ><center>
Send data from this page to Main<br>
<input type=text name=A1 size=3 ><input type=text name=B1 size=3 >
<input type=text name=C1 size=3 ><input type=text name=D1 size=3 >
<input type=text name=E1 size=3 ><br>
<input type=button name=DT onclick ="javascript:CloseCalculator();" value=press>
</body></html>
