[Javascript] DHTML\AJax\WebParts\JavaScript

[Peter Brunone]

Sounds like we'd really benefit from seeing the JS output (as opposed to 
the string-building code).  FYI, window.opener is the proper syntax for 
getting a reference to the window which opened the current window.

One notable exception to the window.opener syntax is cross-domain 
scripting, i.e. when you're trying to send values between windows that have 
different sites open.  Most current browsers will prevent you from doing so 
due to security concerns.

Whoops ... 

I have tried the commented-out code. I can't seem to get a reference to 
the
calling web page to send back the value to the calling page. The 
JavaScript
errors I get are always along the line of "object is null or doesn't 
exist".
(The object being the parent window calling the popup.)

Gene,

Are you getting a Javascript error message? If so, what does it say? 
If not -- or even if so -- what does the Javascript look like when it's 
rendered in the HTML source?

I'm a little confused since most of the code here is commented out; 
what parts are actually relevant?
