how to transfer textbox value from .net page to html page textbox?

[Steve]

My question is both .net and javascript and I thought it would be best
posted here.

I have a pop up html page (it just has to be html) with a textbox and a
button next to it. When the user clicks on the button an asp.net page
pops up which allows the user to upload a photo. The asp.net code then
puts the url of this photo into a textbox in the asp.net page. I now
want to be able to press a button and have the value from the asp.net
textbox transferred to the html textbox. Can you please show me how
with example code? I assume the code has to be in javascript?

I hope that's clear. I know you may be thinking why don't I do the
whole thing in .net but the html page has just loads of other things
and javascript on it and I can't really change it.

Thank you.

Whether a page is static HTML or generated by ASP doesn't matter
at all in this context. After filtering out a lot of references
to "asp.net page", I think what's left is that you have a parent
page with a textbox, and you want a child page to be able to
write into that textbox.

In the child page:

opener.document.forms[0].elements["NameofTextBox"].value=whatever;

Once it leaves the server, it is HTML. ASP .NET is irrelevant after that.

ASP is on the server, I guess you mean in the browser page.

with example code? I assume the code has to be in javascript?

<script type="text/javascript">

function writeText(id, txt)
{
var s;
if ( document.createTextNode
&& document.getElementById
&& (s = document.getElementById(id)) ){
while (s.firstChild) s.removeChild(s.firstChild);
s.appendChild(document.createTextNode(txt));
}
}

</script>

<form action="">
<input type="file" id="fileName">
<input type="button" value="Show file path"
onclick="writeText('thePath', this.form.fileName.value);">
</form>
<div>Here is the filename and path: <span id="thePath"></span></div>
