Updating selectbox with popup window

[zimba]

Hi all !

I'm on a funny project, making cool interface with php/javascript

I have a selectbox with customers inside and I'd like to use a popup with a form to add a customer in the list.

The problem is I don't have any idea how to send values between two windows.. can I use windows handles or something ?


Cheers,
zimba

yes.

from child to parent

top.opener.document.formName.elementName.value=your value;

from parent to child

winRef.document.formname.elementName....

thx kalidali,

I've tried this and it works



<script language="JavaScript1.2">
function remote(page_name){
top.opener.location.href = page_name;
}
</script>
<a href="javascript://" onclick="remote('index.php');">Change Location</a>

Can u tell me why this doesn't work ?


<script language="JavaScript1.2">
function remoteUpdateSelect(oSelect, value, text)
{
var oOption = document.createElement("OPTION");
oOption.value = value;
oOption.selected = 1;
oOption.appendChild(document.createTextNode(text));
oSelect.appendChild(oOption);
}
</script>
<a href="javascript://" onclick="remoteUpdateSelect(top.opener.document.form1.select1);">Add Option in SelectBox</a>
