Your function "onClick" may or may not confuse the JavaScript interpreter, come up with another, more descriptive, name for your function like "displayEmail()."

write() is not a method of the window object, but rather of the document object, so you want to say "document.write();"

You should also use a <form> tag before you start entering elements, some browsers won't display any of your form elements without leading and trailing <form></form> tags.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Johnny for u'r reply.I think i was not very clear and made mistake while typing.Let me be more clear.

I have an html page with a button(which contains email address),when click on it opens another html(different window) with some text .I want to get the value of button into a text of another html page.

//one html form
one.html
<html>

<script language=javascript src=link.js>
</script>

<body>
<input type="button" name="n1" value="xyz" onClick="openWindow(this)">
</body>
</html>

//this is link.js
function openWindow(a)
{
var x=window.open('two.html','newwindow' ,'height=300
width=300');
}

two.html
<html>
<body>
<input type='text' name='n2' value="">
</body>
</html>

this code opens new window with the text(no value in it).I want the text to have a value xyz ie my email address(button value of one.html) Is it possible???
