Hi Mark,
Investigate the JavaScript "window.opener" property.
Once you reference window.opener in your script, you can manipulate the
"original window" via JavaScript just like it's the current window. Meaning
you can copy values to and fro between windows.
Something like:
try{
var field_inthis_window = document.getElementById('field_inthis_window');
var field_inoriginal_window =
window.opener.document.getElementById('field_inoriginal_window');
field_inoriginal_window.value = field_inthis_window.value;
}catch(e){
alert('Original window is no longer open.');
}
Hope that helps.
