Hi guys,
I have been working on a project for some time now and I'm trying to
make a form that includes (many things and) an edit box with a button by
it. I want this button to open a pop-up window and include a search form
that queries a database and return to its self the result set in a table
in which the last cell contains a link (or button). This link should
return to the parent window a value of this specific row.
Well I have build the whole interface and since php is server side I
thought I could write this including javascript. Non of my experiments
worked because the pop-up window does not returm to the parent window
something. I searched through the web and nothing seems to do the magic
for me. Please any suggestions would be welcome cause I have been
working on this for several hours as we speak.

This is not really a database question, but here's something to point
you in the right direction...
In your main page insert this Javascript function:
function sayHello(name) {
alert("Hello "+name);
}
In the newly-opened window (it's important that this window has been
opened by the main page, preferrably using window.open()), do this:
This should do the trick for you. The "opener" property of the window
object holds a reference to the main window.
