Question

i’m having a problem about my program right now. i’m practicing a program in a html that would accept an ID, and i would like that ID to be paste in a <div> in my other html, using two separate javascript. here’s the javascript code:

    $("#btnGetID").click( function() {
        ....
        ....
        window.open('project.html');//used to open the other html file to paste the ID
        pasteID($('#myID').text());//this is the function name with parameter.
    });

the function pasteID(par) was coded in the other .js file. here’s the code:

   function pasteID(par){
      var p_id = pasteID(par);// this line displays an error "too much recursion" in firebug
      return (p_id);
   }

   $("#DisplayID").click( function() {
      $('#putID').attr("value", pasteID(par));
   }

what’s is that error “too much recursion”? how can i make this program right without that error? i cannot think of anything that would display my ID in the other html. can please somebady help me.? please
