Hi
I want to set the main document variables from a pop-up.

The code will be somewhat like this (sorry for mistakes) but it isn't
setting the main document's input box value. Please help!

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function mypopup() {
  var win=window.open(...);
  var message="<input type=text name=s1 value=yes
onclick=\"document.forms[0].myinput.value='value from popup'\">";
   win.document.write(message);
}
</script>
</head>
<form method=post action="myaction.html">
<input type=text name=myinput value='default value' onclick="popup()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
