How to send value from child window to parent window.

Suppose I opened a popup from parent window I have calculated some calculation on child window while submitting the value from child window I need to close the child window and display the calculated value of child window to parent window textbox.

Use cookie.

 

Use the window.opener property to gain acces to a field in the parent window from the child window.

 

On the first page it may looks something like

var newWin = window.open("additional @param here");

PHP:

On the second page

function _closeWin(valueToBeParsed) {
var parentWin = window.opener;

// If you have a specific target element, specify it here
var obj = document.getElementById("where");

parentWin.obj.value = valueToBeParsed;

parentWin.focus();
this.window.close();
}

PHP:

 

In child window you can use below code to assign value back to parent text box.

window.opener.document.form.textbox.value='xxx';
self.close();
