passing a form object to a function in a Different html page

[finty]

this is probably very basic but it would be helpful to know how it is done. I know how to pass a form objewct to a function on the Same page but can you send it to one on another page.

thanx in advance

I know how to pass things from the window.opener to the popup or from the popup to the window opener.
In this example I am not exactly passing things but retrieving items in the popup from the window.opener.

this is test.htm:
<script>
var newWin = window.open('pop.htm',null)
function startFunctionInPopup() {
newWin.otherWinFunction();
}
</script>

<input type=button id=btn name=&quot;hey this is the name of the window opener button&quot; value=&quot;click&quot; onclick=&quot;startFunctionInPopup();&quot;>

This is pop.htm:
<script>
function otherWinFunction() {
alert(window.opener.document.getElementById('btn').name)
}
</script>
