    Click link in popup window and insert link text in a field of mother window

    http://asianmachinetrader.com/dbase/add.htm


    For the "Category" field in the page above, is it possible to click on the
    category (in the "Show me" popup window) and have the category inserted into
    the field?

    I have searched http://developer.irt.org/script/form.htm but could not find
    anything related.

    Thanks.

      try this:

      function insertIntoOpene r(inStr)
      {
      window.opener.d ocument.forms[0].Category.value =inStr;
      window.close();
      }

      where inStr is obviously the value you want to insert into the textbox

          I am not familiar with JS. Can you give me a clearer example, please?
          Thanks.

              the following is the start of your categories.htm on
              http://asianmachinetrader.com/dbase/add.htm. I added the function from my
              last posting:

              <html>

              <head>
              <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
              <title>AMT: Possible Machine Categories</title>
              <script language="javas cript">
              function insertIntoOpene r(inStr)
              {
              window.opener.d ocument.forms[0].Category.value =inStr;
              window.close();
              }
              </script>
              </head>
              [..]

              Then you have to change your list of possible categories like in the
              following snipplet:

              [..]
              <a name="Agricultu ral">Agricultur al</a></font></b></p>
              <blockquote>
              <p><u>Categorie s</u><br>
              <a href="javascrip t:insertIntoOpe ner('Cultivator ')">Cultivato r</a><br>
              <a href="javascrip t:insertIntoOpe ner('Plunger Pump')">Plunger Pump</a><br>
              <a href="javascrip t:insertIntoOpe ner('Brush Cutter')">Brush Cutter</a></p>
              </blockquote>
              [..]

              If you do that for your whole list it will work.

              Hope it will help

                  Not working

                  I tested that and it is not working. Please note that the category list is
                  on a popup new page. Clicking the link will insert the category into the
                  Category field of the mother page.

                  I have tested putting the JS link in the mother page and popup page - both
                  didn't work. Can help further. Appreciate.
