JavaScript - Accessing Parent Window
I'm trying to accessing the Parent window fom a sub window previously opened using window.open
I'm using firebug to t yand debug, and it shows that this DOM entry exists.. window.opener.location.href But trying to access it gives "window opener is null" error I've tried all these, and get the various errors tagged on the end... Code: <script language="JavaScript"> //alert(opener.location); // = opener is null //alert(opener.location.href); // = opener is null //alert(parent.location); // = uncaught exeption - could not convert to javascript argument arg 0 //alert(parent.location.href); // = Permission denied to get property Location.href //alert(parent.opener.location); // = uncaught exeption - could not convert to javascript argument arg 0 //alert(parent.opener.location.href); // = Permission denied to get property Location.href //alert(parent.window.opener.location.href); // = Permission denied to get property Location.href //alert(parent.window.opener.location.href); // = Permission denied to get property Location.href //alert(window.opener.location); // = window opener is null //alert(window.opener.location.href); // = window opener is null //alert(window.parent.location); // = uncaught exeption - could not convert to javascript argument arg 0 </script> driving me crazy! Anyone have a solution?

Join Date Feb 2009 Posts 28,311 Thanks 82 Thanked 4,754 Times in 4,716 Posts Window is not defined. window is. JavaScript (and the DOM) is case sensitive. You must pay attention to upper/lower case spelling, carefully. By the way, you shouldn't need the blur() call. If you focus on some window (any window) then any other focus should be lost. I have created and opened a child window called "checkwin" and have written some data to it. If the data is valid, I want the user to click on the 'CONFIRM' button on the child window, at which time I want the "submit()" function for the form on the parent window to be executed. If the data is invalid the user clicks on 'MODIFY' and I want focus to return to a field on the parent form. However, when I click on the "CONFIRM" or "MODIFY" buttons on the child window, nothing happens. Here is the code: Code: checkwin.document.write("</td></tr><tr><td align='right'><input type='button' value='CONFIRM'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.submit()'></td><td></td><td><input type='button' value='MODIFY'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.first_name.focus()'></td></tr></table>")
After following the instructions from the answer below: http://bytes.com/topic/javascript/an...arent-document I was able to have the child window perform the function defined in the parent window. The function was to only have an alert window pop up as the child page was loading. I easily modified this to my intention which was to have a parent function performed when the child window was clicked. Using the body tag: Code: <body onclick="parent.FUNCTION NAME HERE()"> I first change the method in which the function would be triggered, all went well there. then I tried to change which function would be triggered. (Basically use the function I wanted to happen on click of the child window rather then the function from the test). Once I did this switch, nothing happens. The site this is being used on is: http://tylerpanesar.ca/ What I want is when the menu bar is open in the parent window, the user chooses a link and the menu closes and goes to that link in the child window. This already works. However if the user opens the menu bar and then changes there mind and continues with the page the are currently on (clicks any content in the child window), the menu stays open. Currently the menu "hides" only when you choose one of the menu items, but it does not "hide" when you CLICK on child document. If you could figure out how to get it to "hide" on a "mouse out" that would be the better option. I attempted this method however i could only get it to "toggle" the menu on "mouse out". This method does however create an annoying flicker when you hover over the menu items (as it is toggling the open menu command I guess). If I had it "hide" the menu on "mouse out" it would "hide" as soon as you moved off of the main button. The viewer doesn't even have a chance to click a link. or at least that is what happens when I did it. You may have a better method to achieve this. The script that tells it to hide on click is within a jQuery function: Code: menua
.click(
function(){
menu.hide();
the code I used for the mouseout toggle was: Code: menu
.mouseout(
function(){
menu.toggle();
Here is the script that I am currently using for the menu to open and the "click" hide feature. This menu feature comes from the following help: http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1740-Bu...-FaceBook-.htm Code: <script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function( $ ){
var menuRoot = $( "#menu-root" );
var menu = $( "#menu" );
var menua = $( "#menu a" );
// Hook up menu root click event.
menuRoot
.attr( "href", "javascript:void( 0 )" )
.click(
function(){
// Toggle the menu display.
menu.toggle();
// Blur the link to remove focus.
menuRoot.blur();
// Cancel event (and its bubbling).
return( false );
}
)
;
menua
.click(
function(){
// Toggle the menu display.
menu.hide();
}
)
;
// Hook up a click handler on the document so that
// we can hide the menu if it is not the target of
// the mouse click.
$( document ).click(
function( event ){
// Check to see if this came from the menu.
if (
menu.is( ":visible" ) &&
!$( event.target ).closest( "#menu" ).size()
){
// The click came outside the menu, so
// close the menu.
menu.hide();
}
}
);
});
</script>
I've tried adding the click to "hide" menu feature to the child document but there is now menu in that document for it to "hide". What I was trying to was have the child document execute a function from the parent document and have that function executed IN the parent document. I've tried the technique from the link in my very first post but I believe it only calls the function from the parent and executes it IN the child. Which does not work for me as the menu is not in the child. There should be a way to make the child execute a function FOR the parent. I apologize for this very wordy post, but I am extremely frustrated with this now as I have been trying to get this to work for a few weeks now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tyler Hi, I have parent page with 10 child window and i want to close all child window when click on close session button on parent but first i need to check whether any child window open or not after that action should be done for close the child window. I am currently creating which will allow the user to upload their own pictures. For this I am opening a new pop up window where the user can select the file they wish and then upload it (similar to ebay's picture upload). The pop up works fine and so does the file upload however I am having trouble transferring any data from the pop up window back to the parent window. I have been investigating the opener method but cannot seem to get it to work. Below is some simple code that I've been trying to get to work... Thanks for any help! first page... Code: <form name="loadpic" id="loadpic" action="createPost.php" method="post">
<br />
<br />
Testing transfer between pages... <input type="button" value="open pop up" onclick="window.open('popup.php','pop up box','width=400,height=200')" />
<br />
<br />
<span name="myspan" id="myspan">text here</span>
</form>
pop up page... Code: <head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Pop Up</title>
<script language=javascript>
function transfer(){
opener.document.loadpic.myspan.innerHTML = "working";
window.close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
This is the pop-up page!
<input type="button" onclick="return transfer()" value="press me" />
</body>
For a parent window opened a child window, how can the parnet window be notified when the child window is closed or terminated? Thank you. Hi, I am creating a new child air window called "test.html" as follow. How can I call a javascript function in parent window from child window? function createMyWindow() { var options = new air.NativeWindowInitOptions(); options.type = air.NativeWindowType.LIGHTWEIGHT; options.systemChrome = air.NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE; options.transparent = true; mywindow = air.HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(false, options, false); mywindow.load(new air.URLRequest("test.html")); .... } Thanks, ASM Hi, I know this isn't in the context of the rest of the code but hoepfully it's enough to go on. Is anyone able to tell me why the following works in FireFox but not IE - Code: var DateTextBox;
function WindowPostBack(newdate)
{
window.DatetextBox.SetDate(newDate);
}
and the following works in IE but not FireFox - Code: var DateTextBox;
function WindowPostBack(newdate)
{
window[DatetextBox.id].SetDate(newDate);
}
FireFox doesn't recognise 'id', IE seems to require it. I need it to be supported in both so I've put in a check to see which browser the code is currently dealing with and used both snippets in an if/else but it seems to me that something so straightforward shouldn't require this and I am missing something obvious. Hopefully some wiser heads than mine can help me out with this. Many thanks in advance for any responses... Hey there everybody! I'm learning javascript, and I am having trouble figuring out how to do this. Maybe you guys can help me out. What I need is for my main page to have a text field. Above the text field there should be a set of images for bold, italics, underline, etc; when you click on them it inserts the html code <b></b> at the cursor point. Next I want there to be a link, that when clicked will open a popup box with smileys. When you click on one of the smiley images it should insert the smiley code (example :smile: ) into the parent window text field. And would it be possible to make that work with pages of emotes? Or perhaps a second popup window? I hope I explained that without it sounding confusing. I would really appreciate any help. Here is my basic code, it does not include a popup code however. Code: <html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function insert(el,ins) {
window.lstText={};
if (el.setSelectionRange){
el.value = el.value.substring(0,el.selectionStart) + ins + el.value.substring(el.selectionStart,el.selectionEnd) + el.value.substring(el.selectionEnd,el.value.length);
}
else if (document.selection && document.selection.createRange) {
el.focus();
var range = document.selection.createRange();
range.text = ins + range.text;
}
}
</script>
<body>
<form>
<textarea rows="20" cols="100" name="txt1" onfocus="window.lstText=this;">
This is sample text, click anywhere in here then
choose on of the buttons above to see text inserted.
</textarea><br /><br />
<img src="http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss141/vwcorrado/Docs_smiley.jpg" onclick="insert(window.lstText,'hello')">
<input type="button" value="hi" onclick="insert(window.lstText,'hi')">
<br />
</form>
</body>

currently i have the script as below which open the link in new tab but also shifts the focus to it...how do i keep the focus on the parent window PHP Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function openlink(url) { window.open(url); return false; } </script> <div class="btn" onclick="openlink()">Open Link</div> Hi! I have a script that opens up another window and a task gets executed, all of that is fine, but is there anyway that the parent window (the window that gets open) can pass data to the window that opened it? (I pretty much want to enable a button on that page) Thanks... - Matt I'm trying to automatically resize a child frame so that there are no scrollbars.

Alright I have an Iframe, and at the end of that Iframe I have set a variable with JS to be equal to TRUE, indicating that the page has run through the script. I then check that the iframe from the parent window for that variable, if it has not been set yet (or does not equal true) it reloads the iframe. The code works fine FF and Opera. However in IE it does not reload the frame if it is not true, and in Chrome it alerts undefined and does not reload the frame. I have tried accessing the frame through the dom and it did not work for me, and i have also tried simply adding a tail to the iframes source with no success. PHP Code: <iframe name="ifrOne" src="iframe.htm" id="ifrOne"></iframe> <script type="text/javascript"> function frameLoad() { var testOne = window.ifrOne.test_var; if(testOne !== "TRUE") { alert(testOne); document.getElementById('ifrOne').contentDocument.location.reload(true); window.frames['ifrOne'].location.reload(true); } } </script> Instead of using window.open, which I understand opens a new window, is there a code that will make the link open in the parent window?
Hello all, From what I've seen there isn't really a solution to this problem, but I thought I'd try my luck. I'm trying to code a website that's built around an iframe (as in, the nav bar links to content which appears in a central iframe). Now, in one of my pages I've got links that are supposed to open a small text block when they're clicked. I've figured out how to do this using either divs or the DHTML window widget (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ndow/index.htm), but in both cases the tab appears inside the iframe, and it's pretty cramped. I want to position it relative to the parent window, not the iframe, but so far haven't been able to figure out how to do this. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks! Hi I wanted to control parent page form popup. For example, I have a page: http://www.cmela.com/zz.php When i open a popup by clicking "Click Here to open popup page" and then on popup window, i wanted it to transfer parent page from making a click on a pop up window. Example is at: http://www.cmela.com/zz.php open pop up window, and then by clicking on a link on a pop up window i wanted my parent page to go to www.msn.com any help? Thanks Hey, I'm looking for a way to get a variable from a parent window in a child window. I'm aware that you can write the variable to a hidden field and then get the field's value in the child window, but I'm looking for a cleaner (all JS preferable) way of doing this. Something like this, but I believe this is an out-dated solution: Code: var str = window.opener.str; alert(str); Any solutions? The following script will take the option parameter from the page URL and scroll the page to the element which has the matching ID. For example: mypage.html?element3 will cause it to scroll to the element which has an id="element3" when the page loads. Code: <html><head><title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function OptionScroll(){
if (location.search.length > 0){
LocnId=unescape(location.search.substring(1))
scrollLocn = document.getElementById(LocnId).offsetTop
document.body.scrollTop = scrollLocn
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="OptionScroll()">
...etc....
This works fine. Now for the next step, I want to be able to do this from a script embedded in an iframe. In other words, when the page loads, the iframe will load and a script within the iframe executes taking the parameter from the parent page's URL, and then scrolls the parent page to the element with the matching ID. Is it possible to do this? Hello guys. I've been struggling on how to make this work. I have a problem in Javascript when it comes to passing of value in a input type field. page1.html Code: <html>
<head><title></title></head>
