How do I modify my code to collect form input from a popup and insert it into a textarea at cursor location on original page using JavaScript?
The JavaScript shown below inserts form input into a textarea at the current cursor position. The textarea id=mbentry. This works if all code is on the same page.
I want to have a hypertext link on page1.php open a little popup window (page2.php for example) so the user can enter text in the popup, close the window and have the input from the window appear in the textarea (id=mbentry) on the original page. (Note: I currently use GreyBox to create my popup windows.)
How do I accomplish this? (See code below)

myText = document.getElementById("myTextArea");

btn.onclick = function()

insertAtCursor(myText, title.value, url.value, ltext.value);
}
}
function insertAtCursor(myField, title, url, ltext)
{
//IE support
if (document.selection)
{
myField.focus();
sel = document.selection.createRange();
sel.text = '<a href="'+url+'" tit开发者_StackOverflow社区le="'+title+'" target="_blank">'+ltext+'</a>';
}

else if (myField.selectionStart || myField.selectionStart == '0')
{
var startPos = myField.selectionStart;
var endPos = myField.selectionEnd;
myField.value = myField.value.substring(0, startPos)+ '<a href="'+url+'" title="'+title+'" target="_blank">'+ltext+'</a>' + myField.value.substring(endPos, myField.value.length);
}
else
{
myField.value += myValue;
}
}
</script>

<body>
url: <input type="text" id="insUrl" /><br />
title: <input type="text" id="insTitle" /><br />
linked text: <input type="text" id="insLText" /><br />
<input type="button" id="btnInsertText" value="Insert Link" /><br /><br />
<textarea id="myTextArea" rows="6" cols="50"></textarea>
</body>

From the popup you can call window.parent.insertAtCursor(...)
Thank you for your help.
I wasn't able to get it working using window.parent or top.window (the GreyBox method). After much research I decided to use a hidden div that contains my form input elements. The div appears when an "Insert URL" button is clicked. Because the div is on the same page as the textarea, I don't need to pass the info. back to the parent window anymore. I think showing and hiding a div with the input fields will suffice for now. If I come up with a better method using the GreyBox popup I'll share. Thanks again!
