Passing data from child window to parent window
In this blog, i will show you how to pass data from child window to parent window.
1. Create a form in parent window.
<form name="parent" id="parent">
<input type="text" id="test" >
<a onClick=window.open("child.html","TITILE",
"width=850,height=150,status=1,");>open the child window</a>
</form>
2. Create a second window
<form name="child" id="child"> <input type="text" id="test_2" name="test_2" value="YOUR DATA"> <input type="button" id="submit" value="submit" onclick="call_submit();"> </form>
3. Pass data to parent window by javascript
function call_submit()
{
opener.document.parent.test.value=document.child.test_2.value
self.close();
}

hi sir.. it’s showing “[Object]” on the parent page and a javascript error, “opener.document.parent.test” is null or not an object shows in the child window..
please help..
Hi Alex,
Try this one..
window.opener.document.getElementById(test).value=document.getElementById(test_2).value
Thanks for he code.
There is a mistake in the 2nd section “2. Create a second window”.
The form name should be “child” and not “parent”
Hi Jmlb,
Thanks for notifying mistake. It is fixed.
Thanks

Im opening a child window and am returning the value from child to parent . I also want to process that value in the parent , i use the location.href to refresh the parent page from the child by which i lose the value on page load . Is there any work around this other than sessions or __doPostBack
