<script language="javascript">
function retrieveAndRefresh() {
value = document.formName.elementName.value;
window.opener.location.href = "someUrl.jsp?someParam=" + value;
}
</script>
this will refresh the bottom window and push the querystring parameter to it.
you'll have to find a way to keep any values which already exist in the bottom
window, though. i don't know if you can do this, but you could try to call a
function that exists in the bottom window to submit the form (with the newly
populated popup window value) and then redisplay with all values.
i've done what i wrote above, but haven't tried to call a function in an
opener. i would guess it'd be something like:
window.opener.someFunction(value);
in that function (located in the bottom window), you could call form.submit(),
which would populate your action form, but i'm just thinking out loud at this
point. hope this helps...
