The relationsionship can be maintained by window.opener from within the
child wildow - parent window, and the simply the name of the window you
assigned can be used when going from the parent window - child window.

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.

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
