Hi George,

If I understand you correctly, you are using the JavaScript window.open()
mthod to open a child window, and you want to retrieve some form values from
the parent window in the child window? If that's the case, you should be
aware that the only way for those 2 pages to "talk" is on the client, via
JavaScript. On the server, the classes don't even exist at the same time.
Only on the client are they concurrent and able to communicate. In the child
window, you refer to the parent window as "opener." So, if you want to get
the value of a form field in the parent with the name "foo" you could use
something like the following:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
    var s = opener.document.forms[0].foo.value;
// --></script>
