I created a new popup window from an existing page using:
window.open("myUrl","myName","width=200,height=200");
Now on that popup window I have a text input and a button, I want to create an onclick method for the button that sends the text inputs value to the page that created the popup without using a form or php, is this possible?
you can use the window.opener keyword
lets say you have a javascript method doSomething(value){....} in your parent class, then from your POPUP you can call the parent function using
window.opener.doSomething("here is my data from child sent to parent");
UPDATED
Assuming both the parent and the new window are on the same domain, you should be able to directly manipulate their JS environment:
var w = window.open("myUrl", "myName", "width=200,height=200");
var e = w.document.getElementById('someId');
// do something with element e
If they are on different domains, you might need to use window.postMessage or other cross-domain messaging techniques, if window.postMessage is not supported by your targeted browsers.
Any open window call forms a get request to new window. This is very simple way that you pass the params you want to send using URL itself like,
var myUrl = "http://example.com/test?myName=" + myName;
window.open(myUrl,"windowName","width=200,height=200");
Now on the page you can get myName as a request parameter. Please try this.
