I want a link in a popup window to call a function that will pass data back to the parent window?

All popup windows contain the "opener" property that is a reference to 
the window object that opened the current window.
To pass data back to that window, you can do the following:
set a variable:
opener.myvariable = data;
set a text box:
opener.document.forms.myform.mytextbox.value = data;
