Permission denied when accessing function in parent window

My child window has this script. "temp" is simply the value of the
select list which I am passing onchange. I get a permission denied
error in IE when executing selectOption.

function selectOption(temp){
if(temp == ''){
alert('You have not made a selection. Please make a selection
to continue.');
return false;
}
else
{
opener.setValues(temp);
window.close();
}
}

I launched the window with the following script from the main window:

function newWindow(myurl,mywidth,myheight,resize) {
var myDate=new Date();
var myTime=myDate.getTime();
var URL=(myurl.indexOf('?') > -1)?myurl + '&time=' + myTime:myurl +
'?time=' + myTime;
var w=mywidth;
var h=myheight;
var winname='popWindow';
var winl = (screen.width - w) / 2, wint = (screen.height - h) / 2;
var
winresize=(resize=='resize')?'scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes':'scrollbars=no,resizable=no';
var winprops = 'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+wint+',left='+winl +
',toolbar=no,status=no,menubar=no,' + resize;
if(win==null || win.closed)//only launch window if it doesn't already
exist
win=window.open(URL, winname, winprops);
win.focus()
document.onclick=winfocus;//set method to bring window into focus
}

Last time I had a similiar issue was when the opener and popup scripts
were on different domain (even subdomain).
It could be that, or something else.. Just out of curiosity, what does
setValues function do on the opener script??

It is all the same domain...even the same application...which is why it
driving me crazy. Set values simply splits the value passed back and
assigns it to some form fields.

Found the issue, there was a linked JavaScript file in the main page
which was setting document.domain='SOMETHING'; If I added that to the
popup too, all is well.
