trying to call parent window from child window (window.opener)?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 21.2014

I’m trying to get a child window to call a function on a parent window:

[url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/gle9sou3gj770ej/WindowOpenerPOC.zip[/url]

LaunchPage.html is used to open ResolveCaseDialog.html. The Submit button on ResolveCaseDialog submits the selected “Resolution Type” value to window.opener.ProcessReturnValue().

However, when I click the Submit button, the ResolveCaseDialog js throws the following exception: “Uncaught SecurityError: Blocked a frame with origin “null” from accessing a frame with origin “null”. Protocols, domains, and ports must match.”

Can you please take a look at this setup and let me know if there’s a trick to making this work that I’m missing?

@Khalid_AliFeb 21.2014 — I wrote these scripts years ago for this very purpose, go to [url=http://www.webapplikations.com/pages/html_js/frames.html?menu_id=Web_sub]this link for frame examples[/url] and [url=http://www.webapplikations.com/pages/html_js/window.html?menu_id=Web_sub] click this link for window examples[/url] and see if they help you understand how the communication between frames and windows can be achieved using javascript.

@rootFeb 23.2014 — I read that in HTML5, framesets are now removed.

Also to the Original Poster, can you post your code and wrap it in the appropriate forum code tags.
