Calling function in a child window from main parent window

Hi,

I am opening a child window from parent using window.open, but on
refreshing the parent the reference of the child is lost.

Is there any way to save the reference of the child in the parent
after refresh.

I have searched a lot but not able to find any relevant information

Thanks & Regards,
Bhishm

Hi,

If the parent is refreshed, so are all the javascript references.
The good news is that the CHILD can find the parent by the using
parent-keyword.

If that does not help you, you could try to find the childwindow by
using its name (assuming you don't change that).

Folks, I was sure this could be done - or at least sure I had seen reference to it at some point or other - but now, after having gone for a cup of tea, am begining to doubt my original belief. Can I have a script, available in a parent function, called from a child window? If so, how? And... if so, why? I mean, while sipping my tea, I realised that if the

Folks, I have got this working before, in part with some help from this ng but I never really understood how I got it working... and last time, I was using it via a popup window as opposed to an IFRAME.

I am using remote scripting to call a .NET page within a main page. The child page (child.aspx) returns html that contains dynamically created javascript methods (function test()). The parent page sets a document item's innerHTML property to the result of the child page. This all works fine, except that the parent page also makes a call to the "test()" method that is contained within that innerHTML. The call is made after the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
