    <p>I'm creating a popup that will allow me to select values from it, then after I've selected the values, I need to close the window, then pass it to my main form. </p> <p>The code in my main form:</p> <pre><code>onClick="cust=window.open('popup.php?count=&lt;?=$RowStart?&gt;&amp;name_id=' + document.form1.name_id&lt;?=$RowStart?&gt;.value'custWindow','top=50, left=50, height=150, width=375, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes');cust.focus();); </code></pre> <p>And the code inside the popup:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form name="form1" action="&lt;?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?&gt;" method="post"&gt; &lt;table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input id="name" name="name" type="text"/&gt; &lt;input id="nameid" name="nameid" type="hidden" value ="&lt;?=$name_id?&gt;"/&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input name="ellipse" type="button" value="..." onClick="ellipse=window.open('engine_item_list2.php?name='+document.form1.name.value,'ellipse','top=50,left=50,width=500,height=500, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes'); ellipse.focus();"/&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>What happens is when I click the button in the main form, it goes to open a new window where the popup has a form. Inside the form is an ellipse that gets the value for the name_id using the input from the name textfield. </p> <p>I am able to get the values from the ellipse to the name_id, because the ellipse has a submit button inside it. But my popup window form1 should not have a save button involved, so I have to pass the values from the popup window back to the main form by either submitting it when I close the popup or using another way.</p> <p>I think I should use a window.close() but I dont know how to pass the data back using it. Is there a way I can link the close button in the window such that when it gets clicked the values gets to be passed back to the main form?</p>

    1. COYou can pass data with javascript, by simply targeting the parent window, and the elements in that window, and insert a value or whatever from the opened window. The parent window would be window.opener

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
