DHTML Window widget to pass back value

[MacAries]

1) Script Title: (v1.03)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ndow/index.htm

3) Describe problem: I open testme.asp in DHTML Window widget from testbatch.asp I want testme.asp to enter selected value in textbox of parent page testbatch.asp

It would be really nice if widget would close and put the value in the textbox when submit is pressed in form control

Tried to use some javascript in widget:
<script language="JavaScript">
function sendBack(value) {
this.opener.document.main.EMP1.value = value;
this.close();
</script>

<a href="javascript:sendBack('One')">One</a>

The parent has form name="main" and target input type="text" name="EMP1"

but it's not working

You wouldn't use "this.opener", but "parent" instead, inside your script. For example:

<form id="testform">
<input type="text" id="mybox" />
</form>

var googlewin=dhtmlwindow.open("googlebox", "iframe", "test.htm", "#1: Test", "width=590px,height=350px,resize=1,scrolling=1,center=1", "recal")

Here's the source for "test.htm":

<script type="text/javascript">

function postback(thevalue){
parent.document.getElementById("mybox").value=thevalue
}

</script>

<form>
<input type="text" id="test" /> <input type="button" value="Save" onClick="postback(document.getElementById('test').value)" />
</form>

That was it! Now works like a charm. Thanks so much.
OK now looking around to see how to close the DHTML widget window.close is not supported

This works:

<input type="button" value="CLOSE" name="exit" onClick="javascript:parent.closeit()">
