Question

I have a php signup form. I have a text field named username ie, <input type="text" name="username"> to enter username. I have a button next to it with value and name as check. I want to popup a small window when user click the check button. I just want the entered text (username) to get displayed in the popup window.

The key need is to transfer the data from this window to popup window.

How can I make this possible??

I’m not pretty sure what are your really wanted. I guess experimentX has a point. Anyway try this code. But first your calling page must be a php.

PHP:

<p>User Name is: <?php echo $_GET['userName']; ?> </p>

HTML

Forwarding value via URL

<form>
<p>
    <input type="text" name="userName" />
    <input type="button" value="check" onClick="window.open('popWindow.php?' + 'userName=' + this.form.userName.value, '_new')" />
</p>
</form>

Forwarding value via submit:

<form action="popWindow.php" target="_new" method="GET">
<p>
    <input type="text" name="userName" />
    <input type="submit" value="check" />
</p>
</form>

I hope this can help. If not please be more specific and provide more of your code.
