The build-in gContainer reference pointing to the enclosing window object is made for such purpose. Suppose you have a form named "testForm" with a <input> tag named "dateInput" laying in the same page as the calendar, and you want to put the selected date from the calendar into the "dateInput" field with the "y/m/d" date format, you should use the following code in plugins.js file:

Code:

function fAfterSelected(y,m,d) {
gContainer.document.testForm.dateInput.value=y+"/"+m+"/"+d;
}

Another example - if you opened a new window containing a FlatCalendar and wanted to send the selected date into a field in the original page, you can use the openerreference:

Code:

function fAfterSelected(y,m,d) {
gContainer.opener.document.testForm.dateInput.value=y+"/"+m+"/"+d;
}
