In your parent window, you should have a function:

//parent window
function getParentValue(){
  return $("#textbox").val();
}

You can call this function in your child window:

//child window

var parentValue = window.opener.getParentValue();
alert(parentValue);

This works because functions are public by default (not like vars)

Hope this helps. Cheers
