APEX

version 3.2

I am setting a value of text field on parent page from popup page

using

opener.document.getElementById("P76_TEST1").value = pReturnValue1;

'pReturnvalue' is the value and contains special characters. The popup returns works fine when there are no special characters. But does not work otherwise. (the popup doesn't close and nothing happens. below is my popup return code

<script language="JavaScript">

function passBackAndSubmit(pReturnValue1,pReturnValue2)
{
var myValue = document.getElementById("P81_ITEM").value;

if (myValue == 1)
{
opener.document.getElementById("P76_TEST1").value = pReturnValue1;
opener.document.getElementById("P76_TEST2").value = pReturnValue2;
}
else if (myValue == 2)
{
opener.document.getElementById("P76_TEST3").value = pReturnValue1;
opener.document.getElementById("P76_TEST4").value = pReturnValue2;
}
opener.document.wwv_flow.submit();
//opener.window.location.reload();
self.close();
return false;

}
</script>

Please advice.
