You can't. 
What runs on the client in the browser has to be "passed back" to the server. 

Here's one way to pass that value:

<FORM NAME="MyForm">
<INPUT VALUE="" NAME="CS_JS_Val">

<SCRIPT><!--
        document.MyForm.CS_JS_Val.value = opener.document.hedit.RefNum.value;
// -->
</SCRIPT>


When the form was submitted you would have the value in Tango as <@ARG CS_JS_Val> 
which you could assign to a Tango variable if needed.

On a page opened in a child window, I have
        <SCRIPT>
                document.writeln(opener.document.hedit.RefNum.value);
        </SCRIPT>
which correctly displays the value on the screen.

How can I assign this value to a local variable?

<@SCRIPT
EXPR="server.setVariable('vRefNum',opener.document.hedit.RefNum.value,'local
');">
does not work.

Thanks,

Chuck Lockwood
