I am not sure what the problem is.
next to your form field you have something to click and open up a window
like
onclick="javascript:popupWindow=open('#pageurl#','selectionwindow'#winproper
ties#);">
pageurl points you to index.cfm?fuseaction=blah.blah&whatever else you need
to pass
winproperties are your popup window properties
your popup window is just a page that has the query, form, select box,
whatever you needed.
then however you decide that the "popped up" form is done you call a
function
like onclick="updateMyOpener();"
and you have the function that looks something like this
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function updateMyOpener() {
opener.document.formname.fieldname.value =
document.poppedupformname.poppedupfieldname.value;
window.close();
}
//--></script>
Fusebox has no bearing on this

Thanks Shawn. I understood already that one would use Javascript. I was more
curious about the details of setting a form field value from another
independent window, the "calls back to the opener" as you put it. If you're
calling a fuseaction to open the popup window, then its not a child of the
window the form is in ... maybe this is more of a javascript question than a
fusebox question, I don't know. I guess I'll do something less elegant.

Just use javascript of course. Make a fuseaction for your popup and make
calls back to the opener.

Subject: Popup window to set data in a form field
Hello,
I'm wondering how to accomplish something in fusebox. I want to allow a user
to set a particular field either by picking from a list of existing items in
the db or by typing in something new. I thought I could have a form with a
text input field and next to the descriptor I could have a link to a popup
window that would generate a picklist that when selected would close the win
and populate the input field, but I'm not sure how to work it with fusebox.
Any ideas?
Regards,
eric
