Not that there is actually a question in there... I assume your question is "How do I pass a value from a window which was opened via JavaScript, back to the window which opened it" Short answer: "window.opener" <-- read up in a javascript reference manual about this object. Longer answer after reading up on the above, you will find that you can manipulate the elements on the "opener" of a window via javascript. This will allow you to do things like get an email, then drop it back into a form field (window.opener.formName.formField.value = foundEmailAddress or something like that) not that this has anything directly to do with PHP or Databases, let alone both. enjoy, have fun Beau -----Original Message----- From: Shahmat Dahlan [mailto:shahmatd@sains.com.my] Sent: Thursday, 14 November 2002 2:27 PM To: PHP DB Mailing List Subject: A Question on Javascript I have a question on Javascript, if you don't mind. Say if I have a main page, whereby I would also have a html form which contains a button. Let's call it main document. When I click on the button it will open a new window, which refers to another html page. Now, let's call it child document. Now on this html page, say, I would like to search for an e-mail address, and returns the value of the e-mail address from the child document to the main document. Regards and thanks in advance.
