Passing VALUES from POP UP WINDOW

[eire]

Hi there!
I dont know if this is possible or not, but i just thought id check anyways!

I have a form on an ASP page, there is link on this form to a pop up window, ive a recordset writing to the popup page with mutliple values in hyperlinks, basically i want to pass a value from to the POP window to a text field on the form when one of the values is clicked, can anyone show me a really really basic example of this?
Thanks

opener.document.formName.fieldName.value =

opener.document.formName.fieldName.value =
is this applied to the HREF tag? on the parent or child page?

thanks for your reply!

In the popup put

function f(){

opener.document.formName.fieldName.value = "hello";

return false;

}


on the href (in the popup) put-

<a href = "#" onclick = "f();return false;">link</a>

excellent that works!

so how do i populate the text field with hyperlink values that i have in my recordset?

[SlankenOgen]

It depends on where the record set is - is it an array? In the opener?

[eire]

thansk for your help on this.

the record set is on the child page.

i have it returning the links to parente page now, but its returning the first item at the top of the record set!

Can you post the record set? Is it an array?

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--

function close_window() {
window.close();
}
//-->

function f(){

opener.document.form1.LocString.value = "<%= RsGetbooks.Fields.Item("").Value %>";

return false;

}


</script>



This is the record set
select * from tbllib_books where booknumber like @booknum + '%' order by ID

This is link
<a href = "#" onClick = "f();return false;"><%= RsGetbooks.Fields.Item("").Value %></a>

[SlankenOgen]

function f(){

var str = "<%= RsGetbooks.Fields.Item("").Value %>";

alert(str);// make sure it is being set.

opener.document.form1.LocString.value = str;

You'll need to post in the asp forum.
