Fetch selected value from a new window???

[shanuragu]

HI

I have a from (say form1) with a text field & a button next to it.

When I click the button a new window will be opened displaying some values with table columns.

My problem is when I select/click a table column in the new window the corresponding value should be carried on to the form1 text filed & the text field value(if any) should be replaced with this value. Finally the new window should be closed automatically??

Here I am able to open a new window, but I am unable to get the selected column value in to the form1 text field.

How can I do this??

say the selct is this :
<select id=sel1 onChange="update()">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
</select>

<script>
function update(){

//say the text field in windiw 1 id="text1"
window.opener.text1.value=sel1.options[sel1.selectedindex].value;
//or if u want the selected tet and not the value then :
window.opener.text1.value=sel1.options[sel1.selectedindex].innerText;

}
</script>

No improvement.
Here is the code

function GetColorCode(cc)
{
var ccode = cc
window.opener.bg_color.value=cc;
}


<%
For i = 0 to l
%>
<td><input type="submit" name="color" value="<%=colorName(i)%>" style="background-color='<%=colorArr(i)%>';border-style:none;" onclick="document.form.ccode.value='<%=colorArr(i)%>';javascript:GetColorCode('<%=colorArr(i)%>');top.window.close();"></td>
<%
Next
%>

Here I am displaying color pallette in the new window & the selected color code should be displyed on to the parent window text box and also the new window should get closed automatically after the selection.

Please help

Thanks pelegk1

ur suggestions did help me to solve my problem. It is working fine now.

I am passing the selected value as follows..

function GetColorCode(cc)
{
var ccode = cc;
window.opener.<%=form_name%>.<%=field_name%>.value=ccode;
}

here can I set the background color of the same text box with the selected color code with in the same function???
if so, how can I do it??
