That is how you'd normally do it - capture the button click and then use javascript to populate the contents of a field in the parent window.

 

I'm not sure why you are trying to do anything with this as an onload handler - is that test code that you've left in?

 

I usually pass the id of the field that I want to update as a parameter to the child page, and then locate the element by id and write its value.

 

When you say yours isn't working, what happens - JavaScript errors, no updates to the field  etc?
