Pass values between windows

[rmittal]

Hello,
I have a first window which has 5-6 fields. It has 3 buttons - Other, Save, Cancel. When I click on Other, a new window opens(like a popup) which has 4 fields. It has 2 buttons - Ok and Cancel. When I click on Ok on this window I need to pass the values of the fields from this window to the previous window without refreshing the first window. i.e I have to pass values between the second window to the first window. The first window should not get refreshed since there are going to be few values entered on the first window. How do I do this?

a window can access its parent window like so:

self.opener.whatever();
self.opener.jive = something;

and a parent window can access it's child like so:

x=window.open()

now x is a reference to its child window:

x.whatever();
x.jive = something; jared@eae.net -
