error in passing values from child window to parent window

[JayaSiji Gopal]

I have two windows - Parent and Child. WHen I click on a button in the parent window, the child window opens up.

The child window has two radio buttons and a submit button. On click of the submit button, I want the value to be passed to the parent window and the child window shd close.

Depending upon the value from the child window, the parent window should be redirected to the new URL.

I get the error in child window as :

document.frmHolidayType.rdoHoliday.selected.value is null or not an object.

Can anybody plz help!

is that field in the parent?

then you need to do

window.opener.formName.elementName.value = "asdf";

No, this field is in the child window.

oh, duh, should have looked at your code more closely.

document.frmHolidayType.rdoHoliday.selected.value

that is not how you get a radio button value

this is:

var str;
if(document.frmHolidayType.rdoHoliday[0].checked)
  str = document.frmHolidayType.rdoHoliday[0].value;
else
  str = document.frmHolidayType.rdoHoliday[1].value;
