changing form value in parent window from child window using ajax

how to get data value that has been list in child window and would like to passing to form value in parent window

Hello heryanto, welcome to WebmasterWorld!

I don't think you need AJAX for that. A simple line of javascript should be fine.

The value of a field can be read or set through

document.formname.fieldname.value

. So if the name of the form is myForm and the field is called myField, that would make

document.myForm.myField.value

.

A parent window can be addressed from a popup window through

window.opener

. So the full line of code would be

window.opener.document.myForm.myField.value = 'some value';

if the list of data in child windows i written in php code that insert in table list how can i pass the value of variable into "window.opener.document.myfield.value='some value'"?

I'm not sure whether I understand what you mean. But how about this:

window.opener.document.myForm.myField.value = '<?php echo $myVar;?>';
