window.opener problem...

[TugaMadrid]

Hello!

I have a window to wich I want to send a value to its form.

From this window I open a popup window with window.open(...).

The new pop-up window contains a hidden frame (Table)...and thats from
this hidden table that I want to send some value to the original
window.

function go(of){

//alert(of);
alert(window.opener); this gives me undefined
alert(parent.location); this gives me the URL of the pop up window
where the hidden iframe is contained(not the original one)


window.opener.document.form.field.value="of";

window.opener.close()

}

Question:Why does the window.opener is undefined?Where does the
informacion get lost?

Thanks

Within a frame, "window" refers to that frame.
"parent" refers to the popup window containing the frame
You want the opener of that popup window.
You should be able to figure it out from there.

Thanks for the tip but I already have it working

Instead of trying to send the informacion directly to the first
window , first I sent it on step back(to the second window) and only
then re-send it to the first one!!Thanks anyway
