obtaining field Id from the parent window in pop up window using window.opener

[kalyangvd]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to get the Field Id from the Parent Window in the pop up window using window.opener ex:

   var var1 = window.opener.document.getElementById("text1").value;
  alert(var1);

I also used as window.opener.document.loginForm.text1.value but the field value is not getting in the pop up window. What am i missing here. Please let me know what i am missing here.


Thanks,
Kalyan

The things that could be missing are that it's not being correctly referenced, or it can't access it, e.g. parent window is closed. The best thing to do is check the error console in a decent browser (unless it affects one browser only).

That might work for you, but it assumes that there is an element with an id of "txtDetailsURL" which the OP probably won't have and it's very similar to the original code anyway.

Also note that the language attribute of the script tag has been deprecated in favour of the type attribute:
[html]<script type="text/javascript">[/html]
