Use javascript to get items from server side listbox

[JDAEMS]

Dear sir/madam,

Is it possible to retrieve the items from a server side listbox using javascript in the code behind page?

More detailed: I have a page with a button on it. When this button is clicked a new window opens up (like a popup) where you can search for items. When you click Finish on the popup window, the idea is to write the items in the list on the popup to a list on the window that opened the popup.

This is what i ahve, but it doesn't work:

script = "<script type=""text/javascript"" > "
script += "for(i=0;i < document.frmPrompt.lstChosen.items.count;i++){ "
'script += "if(document.frmPrompt.lstChosen.Items.Selected){ "
script += "Response.Write(document.frmPrompt.lstChosen.Items.Text); } "
script += "</script>"

It says that it doesnt know the object document.frmPrompt.lstChosen.items

kind regards
Jelle

In the pop up page do something like this:
window.opener.forms[0].textbox1.value = "<value from source textbox>"

Of course you will have to modify this to use listboxes as you have done.
