here's my problem:

i have a form that will open a new window (without closing the calling window). i want the user to navigate anywhere on the web with the new window and upon closing this navigation window, the last url from the navigation window will be passed to the calling window. this url will then fill a text field and/or a session variable. in other words i want to capture the url from the called window into the calling window.

any help?

thanks in advance,

moe
