Andrew,
I had a similar situation. The way I did it is a) set up the
parent form to pull the field values from session vars (I use a
home-grown formBean); b) when the popup window is called, first
use Ajax to pass the parent's field values to a routine on the
server which stores then into session variables; then c) when
popup window is submitted, update the session vars, reload the
parent window (which of course uses the updated session vars),
and close the popup.
Works fine, except for an irritating "Reload" box IE insists on popping up.
