Thanks Narayanan -- I tried this b4, but this will throw an error... Actually, you need to pass a total string into the open method....

Hi... Is it possible to send a value of a form element from the parent window to the child window like this??? function go() { var namVal = document.fm1.txtName.value; var newwin=window.open("a.html?Name=namVal"); } [input] [input] The above does not work... it will give me 'namVal' as the value rather than the actual typed in value when I try to get request.getParameter.... How can I achieve this functionality??? I need to pass a form element value when opening a new window. This value is essential at this point coz I perform an action based on this value and then bring the pop up page.... Suggestions requested please... Thanks!
