Sending Data to Parent Window from DB child window

[jeremyhache]

I have a page which needs to be updated through a child window. The child window is a page that just displays a table from a database. Each record has an "Apply" hyperlink next to it which reloads a copycat page on the parent window and updates certain fields. However, because I am reloading the page all the data in the form in the text boxes not being updated are cleared. How would I use this format but update the parent window rather than refreshing it??? Should I try a different approach? I found something involving an opener.document command but how would I use this with a hyperlink? THanks.

you can reference the parent window as "opener", so to access a form in your parent window you would say
document.opener.document.getElementById('your_form_name_here')
and then you can incert/change valus of the fields in a form. for example:
document.opener.document.getElementById('your_form_name_here').txtField.value = "some value from your child window"
