Hii..

I've a window that open a popup.. where the popup contains a form.. I want the form to be submitted in the opener window ..

 

I've tried :

 

function Change_form_action(btn)
{

if(btn.name=="sendbtn")
{
	document.numbersfrm.target = window.opener;
	document.numbersfrm.action = 'sendfrm.php?to_type=numbers';
}

      else if ... etc..
}

 

but what happens is that a new window is opened and not the opener window !

I don't think you can submit from one browser window to another like that. An alernative approach would be to have a hidden for in the parent page. When the user "submits" the child window page it runs a script that will populate the values of the child window form into the parent window form, then calls a function in the parent which closes the child window and submits the form in the parent.
