javascript open a new window and wait for asp script to run

Here's what I need to do. from Javascript I need to open another window have the user fill out a form and then process the form, close the window and send info to a variable on the parent form. The parent form must wait for the info to process before it continue running the script.


I have the javascript to open the new form but the javascript doesn't wait to continue.

for example my code is


imageWin = window.open('getimage.asp?myfilename=<%= myfilename %>');

' here need to wait for getimage.asp to be processed and get back the name of file that was chosen.




Any ideas?

You should be able to access any element in the parent form from the new window. If you are trying to update a hidden variable that should work too.

If you wanted to submit the form after the new window closes you could issue: parent.formname.submit();

This should give you a good headstart.
