Accessing Parent Window - It Gives "window Opener Is Null" Error?
Nov 2, 2010
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...
<script language="JavaScript">
//alert(opener.location); // = opener is null
//alert(opener.location.href); // = opener is null[code]......
I am trying to usw window.open , upload a file in the child window and then referesh the parent window. But once upload is done, window . opener .location.href or opener.location.replace sends a message back but I get a pop up blocker, so if I turn pop up blocker off, it opens in new page. I just want the parent page to refresh on the same window. This works on some employees stations but not on others..I don't know if there are any settings on IE that need to change, I tried everything...weird. does any one done this before?
I'm using window.showModalDialog but having an issue trying to set the parent window(main browser). I open modal window A which is then opens modal window B, top of modal window B onload I do window.opener.close()". My issue now is when i'm finished with B I set parent window(main browser) to a new url with window.opener.location. So my problem is modal window A the parent has been closed so window.opener.location will not work.
I am looking through the code on a web page and it has the following link in the script tag within the header: Code: if (parent.window.opener) parent.window.opener.location='[URL]';
My assumption, and research on the internet would suggest that it is redirecting the user to Google, but I am a bit confused by the 'parent window' and wanted to know a few things, such as: - Would the current page be redirected, or would a new window open? - If the page was triggered for a second time, within seconds of the first time, would the redirect still work? If my understanding of the code is correct, I'm confused as to why it is on this page, as the page contains information, yet is redirecting the user to another page on load.
I have got a following problem with using javascript:
I have a HTML page with pictures' thumbnails. After clicking on any thumbnail, I would like to open a new window with the original size picture. In the main window with thumbnails, I have got following important stuff: Code:
Firstly I know this issue has been addresses a lot already but as a newbie to HTML and Web Development I am unable to get the idea. according to documentations and solutions proposed on different forums a popup or child window can be only closed using window.close() if it is opened via window.open() function.
I have a form that is in a popup window. I need the form to submit to the opener window. Is is possible to do that? The opener window is the main window so it is does not have a name and there are no framesets.
<form action="something.php" method="post" target="????"> I'd like to use window.opener in the target but that's JavaScript...
I know somebody has done this before and has the code.
I see this problem in IE but not Firefox. I have a page that opens a second page as a dialog box. If the Dialog is relaunched from a second instance on the page the Dialog window is reused, the controls are reinitialized but window.opener still refers to the original opener. I have simplified code than demonstrated the problem. Code:
I see how the window.opener works, pretty neat in that the pop window knows the parent.
Is there a property that also knows the form field parent?
My function does not know which of the 3 select menus called it.
What can I do?
function onCarrierSelect() { // var frm = document.carrRequestForm.carrierList.selectedIndex var selectCar = document.carrRequestForm.carrierList.options[frm].text; alert(selectCar); if (window.opener && !window.opener.close) window.opener.document.form(x how make global?).nbcarrier(x how make global?).value = selectCar window.close(); }
p.s. as an aside I know the form field name, it is literally in the querystring, but that is ASP/vbscript and no way to get it into the jscript function...
I am new to JavaScript but until now, have felt my way along fairly successfully. I have a page showing an image to the user. I use window.open to open a separate page, listing a bunch of different images that the user can select. When the user clicks "Submit", I'd like the image selection page to close and update the image on the originating page.
To "play around" with this command until I can use it successfully, I wrote the following;
function Button1_onclick() { window.opener.document.bgcolor='bisque' window.opener.location.reload() window.close() }
The line for changing the back ground color to bisque I pulled from the netscape site javascript reference for Window.Opener.
Goal: From window A, I want to manipulate the DOM of window B, where window B is the result of calling window.open(). My attempts are shown below, but Window B is never updated. winRef = window.open("","Window B"); Try 1: $(winRef).find("body").append("<div id=container>mr container</div>"); Try 2: $(winRef).find("body").html("<div id=container>mr container</div>"); Try 3: $(winRef.document.body).append("<div id=container>mr container</ div>"); Try 4: $(winRef.document.body).html("<div id=container>mr container</div>"); The jQuery Core doc [URL] claims that it can wrap a window object. Browser is FF2.0
i have this code i need to close the parent.html window when the child window opened, i need the code for that working well in IE and Firefox Parent.html
<HTML> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> function sendTo() { window.open('child.html','_blank','resizable=yes,width='+(screen.width-500)+',height='+(screen.height-500)+''); } [Code]...
Im trying to create a hidden form field in a parent window from within a child window (popup). I am trying to use jQuery, but unfortunately the hidden field does not get created.
I have a couple of utility windows - a calculator and a calendar that popup from my main window. I would like them to always stay in front of the parent window until they are shut down with there own close buttons. As it is, when you click back to the parent window, of course it comes in front of the child windows. Can I do this?
I have an HTML page where I am opening a child window using window.open. the child window is something like yahoo.com. I want to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed.
Put a link on my page that will open an external site (over which I have no control) in a pop-up window. When the user closes the pop-up, I want my original page to redirect to another page. The difficulty I'm having is that I can't add any code to the page in the pop-up as it's not my site.
If i open a link either by using the right mouse menu "open in new window" or press shift (IE) on the link the page will be opened in a new window. From this window I can use the window.opener object to access the opening window.
When doing this in NN7.1 I cannot access windows.opener. If I open the window with window.open I can also use the window.opener to access the opening window but not if I open the new window by pressing CTRL an clicking the link or using right click "Open link in new window".
Is it only possible to access the window.opener if the window was opened with window.open in NN7?
I have a normal window cotaining a form (named form1). The form has a text input called imageURL. There is a button that, when clicked, opens a new window that contains three frames (left, right and bottom.) In the right frame is another form (named form2) with a hidden input (selected). When form2 is submitted, I want the value of selected to be passed back to the imageURL on form1 and then close. The code I have tried is as follows:
(From my frame...) <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> function passValues() { // pass variable back to parent window window.opener.document.form1.imageURL.value = document.form2.selected.value; } top.window.close(); </SCRIPT>
It closes just fine, but imageURL on form1 never changes.
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:
2. Select multiple checkbox and submit array which send back to parent window and value store in a hidden variable.
i manage to do pop up child window, pass textfield value to parent window. But it cant send php array to parent window. Please help. I'm not good in js. code...
