Open window2 (javascript), enter info in a form, then close window2 and refresh window1. help.

I've gotten this far: URL to open an advanced search window(window2) from window1: <a href=\"javascript:newWindow = window.open('db_viewMD.php?dsn=$dsn&db=$db&lm=$lm&advsrch=true','advsrch','h eight=$vsize,width=310,scrollbars=$bln,resizeable=yes'); newWindow.focus()\")>Advanced Search</a> Enter text in a form (snippet from form, close window if cancel is clicked, redirect window1 to new url, close window): print "<form name=advsrch method=post action=db_viewMD.php>"; print "<td class=sansbold>field1</td>\n"; print "<td class=sansbold><input type=text name=field1></td></tr>\n"; print "<input type=submit value=Submit onclick=window.opener.location='db_viewMD.php?';self.close()>\n"; print "<input type=button value=Cancel onclick=self.close()>\n"; Now the problem is that redirecting window1 isn't really helpful because the form variables don't get loaded to window1 unless they are part of the URL (ie. dbview_md.php?field1=textentered1&field2=textentered2) but they can't be part of the URL because you don't know the text entered in the form until it submits the form.) Is there a way to just refresh window1 after changing the PHP variable (HTTP_SERVER_VARS["argv"]??) that holds the arguments for window1? -m
