Passing Variables from Child Window to Parent Window using Javascript
Hi all.....
I'm trying to pass a variable from a child window to the parent window. How do I do this? I roughly know how do do this... eg using opener.something ... but I don't understand it conceptually... Can anyone be kind enough to help me with this? Any explaination is deeeply appreciated. I'm tired of searching for it over the web.

I just answered something similar a few weeks ago
 Make sure you've set the var in teh parent window already. Then you can reassign its value from a child window with opener.varname="new value" Hope that helps.

Kewll... thanks a lot for that! I'll give it a go and see how it goes...
Extra question: I just don't quite understand that conceptually... Ok... if I set the variable in the parent... Quote:
Then in the child, if I dump the chosen color from a form into the variable..... Quote:
will it pop up in the parent window immediately or do I have to refresh it first? Sorry if I don't look like I know what I'm doing... I'm a newbie in Javascript.  Thanks again.
