Passing values from child popup window to parent window

[Aravind Prasad]

Dear Ranchers,

I am developing a system where the parent window which opens the pop up is in the iframe tag. Once the link is activated, it will open the pop-up window and with a iframe in it. There is a list which I am populating from the database to the iframe. Each row has a include link where, the user clicks it, it has to load the corresponding values to the parent text field.

I am using java script to do this and it is giving me an error message

Message: 'window.opener.document' is null or not an object
Line: 31
Char: 2
Code: 0
URI: http://localhost:8080/roadfreighters/programs/menu2/file_opening/client_search/client_list.jsp

The code I am using is as below.

    
function populate(a)
{
window.opener.document.form1.search.value = "abc";
}

Please help me, to solve this issue.

if it is in the iframe in the child, you need to use parent.

parent.window.opener...
