This is most probably a server-side issue.
When a form is submitted, the values of the text boxes are posted (usually) to the server. The server can then use those values in any way it likes - including using them to format the values of other text boxes on other pages. For more information please refer to the server-side scripting forum of your choice :cool:

OK,
well, once the popup window document has loaded you can access the form elements just like the main window. The trick is knowing when the document has loaded.
Probably the easiest way is to modify your htmlB code to fetch them from its opener...
<script>
function fetchValues()
{
// assuming a form called 'f' on this page and the opener
document.f.textbox1.value = window.opener.document.f.textbox1.value;
...
}
</script>
...
<body onload="fetchValues();">
