submit form using 2 open windows

[ronnie99]

hi there,

let's say i have the main submission form in one window and another pop-up window with some buttons (such as "continue upload","stop upload",etc.).
how do i pass the true/false submission values to the original form???

You can reference variables, functions and form elements in the original window that opened the popup by using the "opener" property. For example if you wanted to perform a function in the "opener" window you would do this:
opener.function_name(somevalue)

If you wanted to populate a variable in the "opener" window then you would do this:
opener.variable_name="some value"

A form element:
opener.document.form_name.field_name.value="some value"

You should also be able to submit the form this way:
opener.document.form_name.submit()

Not sure if this answers your question directly, but is is one way of accessing your original window.
