Question

I want to pull a value using ONLY javascript from another page. I tried with common javascript file between pages, but i was failed… Here’s example…

Page 1:
1. A textfield(1) on PAGE 1 (its empty)
2. A button(1) on PAGE 1

Page 2:
1. A textfield(2) on PAGE 2
2. A button(2) on PAGE 2

Working :
1. On a button(1) click on PAGE 1, a new window opens i.e. PAGE 2 and the old window will be intact(will not be closed)
2. After opening new window, i have entered some text in textfield(2) on PAGE 2
2. On a button(2) click on PAGE 2, the value entered in textfield(2) should be inserted into PAGE 1 ‘s textfield(1).

NOTE : If possible with JQuery, then its my secondary choice if javascript doesnt works…

Answer 1

Assuming both pages are served from the same domain, you can use window.opener to refer to page1 from page2:

window.opener.document.getElementById("textfield1").value
    = document.getElementById("textfield2").value;
