You are required to develop two HTML documents (web pages) as explained below:

„« The first page (AddStudent.html) will provide a number of rows to enter some information about students. Initially, there will be only one row to add a record. But user can add more rows by clicking the ¡§Add Row¡¨ button

Session combo box will contain the following options as shown in Figure 2:

Figure 3: Options in Session Combo

„« On clicking the update button against any row, another HTML document (UpdateStudent.html) will open up in a new window which will show exactly the same values entered or selected by the user in that row in the ¡§AddStudent.html¡¨ page.

For example, if in a 1st row, a user enters ¡§Saad¡¨ in the ¡§Name¡¨ text field, selects ¡§2005-2009¡¨ in the ¡§Session¡¨ combo box and checks the ¡§Repeater¡¨ checkbox, and then click on ¡§Update¡¨ button against it, same information must be displayed in the new window.
Hence, it illustrates that clicking the ¡§Update¡¨ button against a row will show only the respective information in a new window.

„« On UpdateStudent.html (opened up in new window), user can change any values like Name, Session or Repeater

use window.opener and you have the 'window' object of the opener page in hand. Is this what u're looking for?

i know about window.opener...........but i want to access the entire row of the opener page in the opened window

Once you have a reference to a window you can use methods and properteis of the window's document object to retrieve DOM elements and their content. Given that this is asked in the style of a homework question I'm sure you should have covered this.
