I am trying to use a pop up window to collect data. I have a main menu which when I select the link it would open a pop up window then I would collect some data.I would like to then pass it back to the main window on a new page having access to the data. I have tried javascript but it does not pass the variable along.
<head>
<title>Quote Step 1</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_goToURL() { //v3.0
var i, args=MM_goToURL.arguments; document.MM_returnValue = true;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-1); i+=2) eval(args+".location='"+args[i+1]+"'");
}
function MM_popupMsg(msg) { //v1.0
alert(msg);
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000066" text="#FFFFFF">
