Fill parent text box from popup

**CrunchyToast** · 01-20-2013 01:25 AM

Hello everyone!

I currently have code that will generate a random input into a text box within the same window upon a button click. Is there a way I can make this code populate a text box on a parent window if the code is contained within a popup? The program I'm using is encrypted with only limited access to template files or else I'd just include the code on the page itself.

Here is my current code:

Code:

$(function() {
    $('#genID').click(function() {
        var SystemID = "";
        var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";

        for (var i = 0; i < 8; i++)
        SystemID += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));
        $('input[name="ID"]').val(SystemID);
    });
});

Here's the whole page actually. This text box is the one that it generates to, but I'd rather it generate to a parent box.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<body>
<script>
$(function() {
    $('#genID').click(function() {
        var SystemID = "";
        var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";

        for (var i = 0; i < 8; i++)
        SystemID += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));
        $('input[name="ID"]').val(SystemID);
    });
});
</script>
<input name="ID" type="text" id="id" onClick="this.select();" readonly="readonly">

<button id="genID">Generate System ID</button>
</body>

</html>
