Connecting two pages

JavaScript
1

Hi guys,

How do I connect two pages using javascript?
What I want to do is have a file browser appear in a popup and be able to select the file/image you want and then to have that file/image id/handle fill the a field within a form on another page.

What I want to do is similar to CKFinder, however, i need it for personal use and potentially commercial use but I can’t (well i’m unwilling) to pay for something that I could potentially create myself.

Cheers,
Michael.

That too :slight_smile: Been a while since I’ve used a traditional popup

For popups you don’t use parent but window.opener :slight_smile:

The popup can communicate with the opening page by referencing parent. E.G.

parent.formName.formElement.value = ‘1234’

Is that what you’re looking for?
