My experience is to implement 2 or 3 use cases of this popups and study the common behaviour and refactor the code base to support more generic cases. I am not sure whether the following can help you but I would use a Array to carry the fields and value to and fro the popups.
var map = new Array(); map["field1"] = document.form1.field1.value;//this document is on the window.openner map["field5"] = document.form1.field5.value; map["field7"] = document.form1.field7.value; popup(map); on popup window, name the field according to the array, after search, var map = this is the map passed from the window.opener; map["field1"] = document.form1.field1.value;//this document is on the popup map["field5"] = document.form1.field5.value; map["field7"] = document.form1.field7.value; window.openner.closeWindowWithMap(map); Regards On 11/20/05, Laurie Harper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Preston CRAWFORD wrote: > > Yeah, no easy solution for this.
