Passing data to parent from child in different domain

[Reinhold Mannsberger]

Hello

I want to pass data from one page to another, more specifically I want to pass data from a child page to a parent page

My parent page (parentpage.htm) does
----
window.open("childpage.htm", "_blank"); // calling a local pag
----

My client page (childpage.htm) does
----
window.opener.document.all.item("TextBox1").value = "some data"; // fill input field in parentpage.ht
----

This works fine, as long as childpage.htm is in the same domain as parentpage.htm. When childpage.htm is in a different domain the call of window.open (in parentpage.htm) will look like
----
window.open("http://www.somefunnydomain.com/SomeDirectory/childpage.htm", "_blank"); // calling a remote pag
----

In this case, childpage.htm cannot access properties and methods of window.opener, because parentpage.htm is in a different domain
My question is: How can I get this done anyway

The solution I am looking for has to be client side, because my parent page is a page of Microsoft CRM. That page cannot be changed, it only can be customized: buttons and menu items can be added. These buttons and/or menu items typically call other pages.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

Reinhold

it can not be done clientside, as it breaks security rules. the only
approach is serverside.
