   This is indeed very helpful information.

   Thank you Jake and Steve!!!

   Prashant: Your requirement is not clear.

   Assuming your requirement is to pass some data (fetched/calculated in the modal window) back to the parent window, you can either do any of the following:

   In the Modal window:

   -----------------------

   1. window.dialogArguments.<variable of the argument received> = <data you want to pass>

   OR

   2. window.returnValue=<data you want to pass>;

   In the Parent window:

   -----------------------

   case-1.

   -------

   <parameter passed to modal window>.<variable set in the modal-window>

   example: myColourDialog.myColour

   case-2

   --------

   The value returned by the modal window is assigned to any variable which is specified while opening the window.

   example: var returnValue = window.showModalDialog(....);

   returnValue will be assigned the value returned by modal window.
