Sorry for posting so far after but here is an example that I use:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">
function SelectThis(IDVal, LNameVal, FNameVal, TitleVal, PhoneVal, DivVal,
EmailVal, OfficeVal, DeptVal, RegionVal)
{
var a = IDVal;
var b = LNameVal;
var c = FNameVal;
var d = TitleVal;
var e = PhoneVal;
var f = DivVal;
var g = EmailVal;
var h = OfficeVal;
var i = DeptVal;
var j = RegionVal;
self.opener.document.Volunteer.Emp_ID.value = a;
self.opener.document.Volunteer.LastName.value = b;
self.opener.document.Volunteer.FirstName.value = c;
self.opener.document.Volunteer.Title.value = d;
self.opener.document.Volunteer.Phone.value = e;
self.opener.document.Volunteer.Division.value = f;
self.opener.document.Volunteer.Email.value = g;
self.opener.document.Volunteer.Office.value = h;
self.opener.document.Volunteer.Department.value = i;
self.opener.document.Volunteer.Region.value = j;
window.close();
}
</SCRIPT>
Just be careful with the " ' " character in names or such like o'shea - javascript
does not like it. What i did was use Cf to replace it.
<INPUT TYPE = "button" class="buttoncolor" name="EmpID" VALUE = "Select"
onClick = "SelectThis('#ID#', '#Replace(LNAME, "'", "\'", "ALL")#',
'#Replace(F_NAME, "'", "\'", "ALL")#', '#TITLE_ID#', '#FULLNUM#', '#Replace(DIVNAME,
"'", "\'", "ALL")#', '#Replace(EMAIL_ADDR, "'", "\'", "ALL")#', '#Replace(OFFICE_NAME,
"'", "\'", "ALL")#','#Replace(DEPTNAME, "'", "\'", "ALL")#', '#REGION#')">
If any knows of a better way, I am open to suggestions.
Mario

Subject: RE: Javascript across windows
When you use JavaScript to open another window, the created window has an
"opener" variable that contains a reference back to the parent window. SO
you can access form variables or functions like:
opener.document.FormName.FieldName.value
opener.doFoo()
