Parser Error: index

Hello. I'm a rookie ASP VBScripter and am having a difficult time scripting
the following scenario:

I have an index.asp file that has a multi-line text box and a button of type
button. When the button is clicked a window is spawned with change.asp as
its source. There is a form with a few text boxes and with a button of type
submit and a cancel button of type button that just closes the window. What
I want to happen is I want the information entered in change.asp to be added
into the multi-line text box in index.asp when the submit button is clicked
in change.asp. Here are the index.asp and change.asp files:

//--index.asp----

self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight );
function changeInfo()
{
var x = (screen.width - 400) / 2;
var y = (screen.height - 320) / 2;
var myWin = window.open("change.asp",null,"scrollbars=no, toolbar=no,
resizable=no, width=400, height=300, left="+x+" top="+y)

I've been messing with it for a day now and I have been unable to pass
variables from change.asp into index.asp. Any help would be much
appreciated.

~Les PeabodySounds like you'll be needing to use some client side javascript.
You can open a new window using javascript such as this:
a=window.open('MyPage.aspx','_new')
There are all kinds of options for setting window properties such as window
size and toolbar visibility.
Here's more info:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/...hods/open_0.asp

From that new window you can reference the original parent window with
this javascript reference:

Here's an example:
window.opener.document.form1.mytextbox.value = 'whatever';

Here's more info:

That worked great, I figured there would be a way to access the parent
window. Thanks Steve.

I have a simple index.aspx page that declares and sets a sectionID in the
Page_Load. The in a user control later on in the page, I read the sectionID
variable (in the control's Page_Load) to determine which panel to show. It
does not work
"Name 'sectionID' is not declared" is my error while compiling the user
control.
What am I doing wrong?
This is in my main page's Page_Load
Dim sectionID As String = "about"
--
This is in my user control's Page_Load
If sectionID = "about" Then
pnlAbout.Visible = True
ElseIf sectionID = "home" Then
pnlHome.Visible = True
End If
_____
DC GMake a public property or method on your control that accepts the value from
your page. Something like this:
Public Sub SetSection(Section as Integer)
'Now I have the value I need
End Sub
The from your page, call it like this to pass the value along:
MyControlName.SetSectionID(sectionID)
I hope this helps,
