Depends on what exactly you want to do with the value
in the caller; but you can access the variables that exist
in the caller (opener) directly via the opener object
itself. The opener object represents the window object
of the caller. Thus in your example you access the form
in the caller using opener:
window.opener.document.frm.state_user.value = etc.
You could also access other variables in the caller using the
opener object; i.e., if you have this, for example, in
the caller:
<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
var foo="myFoo";
// -->
</script>
<a href="javascript:alert(foo)">Show foo</a>
then within the page you open via window.open you
can set foo of the caller via:
window.opener.foo="myBar";
IOW, you can access the variables and objects of the caller
using opener in the same way you would access them using
window from within the caller itself. I'm typing this all
from memory, but hopefully it's close enough to get you
going. You may run into security precautions if the called
window loads a page from a different domain; can't remember
all the details on that off the top of my head.
