Windows and Parameters

[pancake]

Dear all,

I have a form with a field in it. I also have a link which opens up another window, then I select a colour I want from a database query in the second window, and the field should then be populated with my selection from the second window.

This is the line I am using to open up the new window

<td width=&quot;50%&quot;><input TYPE=&quot;TEXT&quot; NAME=&quot;Colours1&quot; SIZE=&quot;19&quot; VALUE=&quot;<%=FP_FieldHTML(fp_rs,&quot;Colours1&quot%>&quot;><a href=&quot;../Colours/selectcolour.asp&quot; onClick=&quot;window.dateField = document.modifyform.Colours1;colour = window.open('../colours/selectcolour.asp','cal','WIDTH=500,HEIGHT=600');return false&quot;><img src=&quot;../colourbutton.gif&quot; border=0></a>

I know it is possible to pass the colour back to the Colours1 field (as this is 'borrowed' from another of our internet pages) but how do I do this, and then close the colour selection window ?

Thanks in Advance

use something like this:

window.opener.document.formname.fieldname.value = "whatever";
self.close();
