This one works fine with internet explorer :

page1.html

XML

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

function openscr()
{
    var scr = window.open("page2.html", "_blank", "toolbar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes,addressbar=no, width=350, height=300");
    timer = window.setInterval(function () { scr_closed(scr) }, 1000);
}

function scr_closed(scr) {
    if (scr.closed) {
        window.clearInterval(timer);

        document.getElementById("txtname").value= ret_val;

    }
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<input type="text" id="txtname" />
<input type="button" value="Click me" onclick="openscr();"/>

</body>

page2.html

XML

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function return_values() {
    window.opener.ret_val = document.getElementById("myname").value;
    self.close();
    return false;
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

Enter Your Name <input type="text" id="myname" />
<input type="button" value="ok" onclick=" return return_values();"/>

</body>

Which server side programming language will you use?
you can fetch the data from database in page2, and write it in a javascript variable, or json object and use the above snippet to send that data back to page1.
