Re: how to pass value from popup window to php program

There is no way of passing a variable from JS to PHP without sending something back to the server or using a cookie. I haven't followed the thread at all, but if I needed to pass a value from a pop-up window to a PHP program, I'd probably do something like this: In the pop-up window, once the form's "submit" button is clicked or a "Click here" link is clicked, the page calls the PHP program. The PHP program processes the variable (sticking the value in the database, whatever), then outputs a bit of HTML/JS just to close the window. Note that absolutely NOTHING will happen if the user closes the window by clicking the "close" widget on the window itself.
