Communicate through cookie. Before opening the HTA page, save a cookie then in the HTA, retrieve the cookie. There are many cookie scripts in the net and you can see one in the Javascript FAQ sticky thread in this forum.

thank you,but the problem is the parameters I want to pass to
HTA is a MS DOM object which is big and complicated...
I tried to open a modeless dialog instead, this time I can use
window.dialogArguments to get that DOM object, but it seems
the dialog doesn't support HTA...

How are you opening the HTA?

What are you trying to save?

From what security zone are you trying to save it?

In what format will it be saved?

Does your HTA have a GUI, or is it just being used to interface with the WSH?

Provide as much detail as necessary to allow someone reading your question to understand the task.
