I have another sticky problem.  I have a form in which user can type 
information into a textarea.  They can also click a button and make 
another child form appear where they can add items to a table.  This table 
should then be added to what the user has typed in the main (parent) 
page.  This is the part I'm stuck on.  How do I have the text that is 
added in the child window added to the text in the parent page?  I am 
using 2 ASP pages where the child window is popped up with a querystring, 
if that matters.  I have never worked with this functionality before so if 
somebody could please explain the solution completely for me, I'd 
appreciate it.

Thank you in advance,
Chris

You should be able to use javascript and the opener feature to target items
on parent window.

maybe something like

function postdata() {
		
		var oldval = top.opener.document.f1.MyText.value;
		top.opener.document.f1.MyText.value = "";
		top.opener.document.f1.MyText.value = oldval +
document.f2.MyText.value;
		oldval = "";
		
	}

hope that helps

Dave

If I have a pop up box write text into the main page
and create some hidden form inputs will the main page
need to reload for this, using the javascript below?

no javascript will automatically put the  values on the page with out a
refresh, I have never tried it with hidden values though, from one page 
to
another.  But it should work.  Let me know if it doesn't.  Thanks

Dave

Here is an example
<---------------------------- function to open pop-up ----------->
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function myopen(filename,windowname,properties) {
    msgWindow=open(filename,windowname,properties);
    if (msgWindow.opener == null) msgWindow.opener = self;
	//document.write(self.name);
}
//--></script>
<--------------------------END---------------------------------->


<-----main window------------------------------------->
<A
HREF="javascript:myopen('pop-up.asp','Popwindow','toolbar=no,location=no,dir
ectories=no,status=yes,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,copyhistory=n
o,width=500,height=300')">NAICS Code</a>
<--------------------------END---------------------------------->

<-----------------------Input box on main window--------------->
<INPUT NAME="NAICS">
<--------------------------END---------------------------------->

<-----------------popup page------------------------------------>
Response.Write("<INPUT TYPE=""CHECKBOX"" NAME=""" & RS("code") & """
VALUE=""" & RS("code") & """
onClick=""if(this.checked)if(opener.document.register.NAICS.value)
opener.document.register.NAICS.value = opener.document.register.NAICS.value
+ ',' + this.value; else opener.document.register.NAICS.value 
this.value;"">")
<--------------------------END---------------------------------->


This opens a page with checkboxes, when they check a checkbox it populates
the box named NAICS Have fun with it!
