Chris,

If the child asp page is opened using showModelessDialog/showModelessDialog,
then you can use window.dialogArguments to pass the values/object to the
child and back forth.

I have a page which, after the user enters numbers for rows and columns 
and clicks a button, displays a child form with text boxes in a grid 
determined by the numbers the user enters.  I currently have this child 
page as an ASP page.  I want to add these values to a text area that he 
may have already typed text into already.  What I am having trouble with 
is this: what is the easiest way to pass the values from the child form 
back to the "parent" or opener page?  Is it better to just make one long 
string and send it to a hidden input on the opener, or is there a way to 
post the data like a normal ASP page and still be able to keep what is 
already on the main page?

Chris
