A pop for text entry

[james_james1]

I am new to coldfusion.. I need to know how to approach the following. I have a link and once I click that I need a popup window for the users to enter some text and save it. After I return to the parent window, I need the text entered by the user

Your anchor tag can link to either javascript:window.open or javascript.window.showModalDialog, depending on how you want to do this. 

A google search on "javascript update parent window from child" will help you.
