How can a popup window update to the parent window that opened it?

M

Mike

One one of my pages has a search button that, when
clicked, opens a popup window with the search form.

When that form gets submitted I need it to close the
popup window and submit its data to the parent
window that opened the popup.

If I have the search form submit to the parent page it
opens it in the popup and you can only see the top corner
of the page.

Any help is appreciated.

FYI.....I used Jimco Spawn for the popup.

Not possible w/ the FP Search bot
(will always refresh the page w/ the bot in it w/ the search results)
- you will need to write a custom database / asp search

I am not using the "FP Search Bot".

It is a custom dbase w/ ASP.

I have a database querey that displays results on page1.
I have set 6 of the querey parameters with the LIKE operator.

Then I have a button that can be clicked to open a second window, that I am
calling a 'popup', that has a form with fields for those six parameters. I
then want the user to be able to fill in one or more of the fields and when
that form is submitted, I want that 'popup' window to close and have the
values from that form be passed back to page1 so I can insert them into the
dbase querey.
