  innerText is IE only.  You need to use innerHTML.

  Looks like the variable src is a reference to a TextBox, so instead of src.innerText = res; use src.value = res;

  Well, if you're using FireFox, it will NEVER work, since the return from window.open is a reference to the window and not anything returned from the window. Other than that, using IE ONLY, I tested your code with no problems.

  Hello NC,

  thanks for trying my code..but if you look at my first post, the code was 'always' working with IE. I had problems only while running it on firefox.

  If the code given by me doesnt work, can u suggest me some code that will work for both IE and mozilla.

  Kindly give it a try using my code. Thanks.

  Try this:

  Default.aspx

  <script type="text/javascript">
  function OpenPop(txt)
  {
   if ( window.showModalDialog )
   {
    res = window.showModalDialog('Popup.aspx','yes',"dialogHeight:100px");
    document.getElementById(txt).value = res;
   }
  }

  Popup.aspx

  <script type="text/javascript">
  function yes()
  {
   var textBoxRef = document.getElementById('TextBox1');

   if ( window.showModalDialog )
   {
    window.returnValue = textBoxRef.value;
    window.close();
   }
   else
   {
    if ( (window.opener != null) && (!window.opener.closed) )
    {
     window.opener.document.getElementById('TextBox1').value = textBoxRef.value;
    }

    window.close();
   }
  }
  </script>

  You will have to make sure that TextBox1 is the correct ID in Default.aspx

  Hi,

  Thanks.

  Is there any way i can avoid hardcoding 'TextBox1'. I mean i pass a controlid from Default.aspx using your code and access it on popup page

  Something like this :

  Popup.aspx

  <script type="text/javascript">
  function yes()
  {
   var textBoxRef = document.getElementById('TextBox1');

   if ( window.showModalDialog )
   {
    window.returnValue = textBoxRef.value;
    window.close();
   }
   else
   {
    if ( (window.opener != null) && (!window.opener.closed) )
    {
     window.opener.document.getElementById(controlid).value = textBoxRef.value;
    }

    window.close();
   }
  }
  </script>

  There may be a way using querystring but I wanted to avoid that. Any other way possible. thanks
