Hello,
I would like to Know how i can pass values from a IE window to another.
I have a function in a html page tha call another function that open a
ie window with some values.
I would like that the user choice the values that he wants from the new
window and that these values go to fill the fields of the main window.
Is it possible??
How?
thanks in advance

You can do it by having the second window call a function in the first
window. In your case, the second window was opened by the first so you can
call the function by using a button such as:
<input type="button" name="testfunc" value="test function"
onclick="window.opener.getChildWinData()">
where the function is getChildWinData().
That function would populate form fields in the opener window using some
code like the following:
document.forms[0].frm_element1.value
ChildWin.document.forms[0].frm_element1.value;
and so on. You just insert the values from the form elements in the child
window into the form elements in the opener window.
This works in IE, but I have not tried it in Netscape.
Let me know if this works for you.

I think that you will need to use Javascript to achieve this. I believe
that something like :
document.opener.myform.myfield.value=document.thisform.thisfield.value
should work, but I'm not 100% sure of the syntax.

Yes, you can certainly refer to fields and elements in other windows that
are running in the same process. You can refer back to the main window that
opened the child window by using the opener property
e.g. to refer to a field called field1 on a form
window.opener.forms(0).field1.value = ....
you can go the other way by using the name of the child window
