Psycho Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Use "window.opener". Here's a quick example: page1.htm <html> <body> <a href="test2.htm" target="page2">Open page 2</a> <form name="form1"> Value from page 2: <input type="text" name="page2value"> </form> </body> </html> page2.htm <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function sendToPageOne() { var thisValue = document.getElementById('page2Value').value; window.opener.form1.page2value.value = thisValue; } </script> </head> <body> <form name="form2"> <select name="page2Value" id="page2Value"> <option value="one">One</option> <option value="Two">Two</option> <option value="Three">Three</option> </select> </form> <button onclick="sendToPageOne();">Send to page 1</button> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/140835-solved-transfer-data-from-one-window-to-another/#findComment-737143 Share on other sites More sharing options...
