I had a reason to look into this further just recently...

Well with the DOM, you can refer to a form field by "name" with the following structure:

document.formname.fieldname.value

To refer to the page which opened the popup window, you should instead use the following structure:

this.opener.formname.fieldname.value

If this is not enough information, an example would be

<a href="#" onclick="this.myform.submit();this.opener.location='newpage.html';this.close();return false">click here to submit, change the parent page to the url defined and then close this window</a>
