As long as you haven't declared the variable inside a function:


<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var someVar; //Accessible in other scripts
function someFunction() {
var anotherVar; //Not accessible
}
//--></script>

Yes it's possible to declare a variable and use it somewhere on your page. Example


<html>
<head>

<script>

var test="hello";

</script>

</head>
<body>

This is HTML
<br>
<script>
document.write(test);
</script>

</body>
</html>

----------

It's also possible to get the value of a variable on the caller page. Don't know how anymore ( use to do it ). But webreference.com had some articles about it. Maybe you search the site ... if my memeory serves my right the article had also a topic about modal windows ....

Hopes this helps ...

Thank for your suggestion.

I've found that if we use showModalDialog function we can do it. But another problem is in my popup window i've a form inside but when i submit the form it's alway open the new window. But i want it to reuse that popup window not open the one. So anyone have any opinion about this, please let me know.

Thank in advance
