Popup Window needs variable from Parent Window 2

[blackte]

I'm working on an ASP page that has several popup windows associated to it. I would like to send a variable from the parent(main) window to the popup. Can someone point me into the direction of what I would need to do from both the parent window and popup.

I'm wandering if a hidden variable would be the way or not?

Thanks in advance for the help with this.

Thanks TBlack.

The easiest way to send the variable is with a querystring.

parent.asp

<script>
function getKid(inVal){
  window.open("child.asp?theVal=" + inVal)
}
</script>
<input type=button value="click me" onClick="getKid('send val')"

child.asp

<%
  response.write "Sent message = " & request("theVal")
%>
