PHP : how to trigger javascript function from a button in another page

Question

I have 3 buttons.

search button : this will open popup page.
add row button : this will trigger a javascript function to add row.
select button : will trigger a javascript function to get row value and send it to main page.

search and add row buttons are in main page, and select button is on popup page.

i need select button to handle javascript function in main page, so i can remove add row button.

to put it simple, my question is how i do trigger javascript function to add row in main page, using select button in popup page?

if my question isn't clear please ask, thanks.

I would take a general example.

(parent window)

<html> 
<script language="javascript"> 
function openWindow() { 
  window.open("target.html","_blank","height=200,width=400, status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no"); 
} 
</script> 
<body> 
<form name=frm> 
<input id=text1 type=text> 
<input type=button onclick="javascript:openWindow()" value="Open window.."> 
</form> 
</body> 
</html>

(child window)

<html> 
<script language="javascript"> 
function changeParent() { 
  window.opener.document.getElementById('text1').value="Value changed..";
  window.close();
} 
</script> 
<body> 
<form> 
<input type=button onclick="javascript:changeParent()" value="Change opener's textbox's value.."> 
</form> 
</body> 
</html>
