Can’t acess opened window DOM

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hello everyone, i know this question may have been asked many times before but i really can’t find a solution to it!

I’m opening a new window and trying to set the visibility style for one of the child window’s buttons but it seems nothing of which i tried is working, here’s the latest code i’m trying but it won’t work

[CODE]
var newWin=window.open(“window_1.html”, “_blank”, “”);
newWin.onLoad = function() {
newWin.document.getElementById(“return”).style.visibility=”hidden”;
}
[/CODE]

what I’ve managed to get it work is to check for opener value in the child window if it doesn’t equal to null and it worked

[CODE]
//child window
function chkOpen() {
if (window.opener != null) {
document.getElementById(“return”).style.visibility=”hidden”
}
}
[/CODE]

But i really need to know if i can access a child window’s DOM from the opener code?

does this help...
[color=navy]
var newWin=window.open('window_1.html','_blank','');

newWin.onload=function() {
alert(this.document.documentElement.innerHTML);
alert(this.document.body.innerHTML);
}[/color]

don't you think that using....

&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[/color]
...is a rather naughty. ?

Hello and sorry for late response, actually this works, so it's all about waiting for the child window to get fully loaded, right???
