window.open Access is Denied error

[Rob Hunter]

Hi,
I have a window that contains a javascript that uses window.open. The URL contained within this open is to a totally different domain than the parent window. The page in the child window validates a username and password and, if successful, then redirects to another webpage with the same domain as that of the parent. On this page (page that is redirected to), there is a javascript that tries to access the parent window using window.opener. I get an Access is Denied error each time it's ran. How can I accomplish the same thing mentioned above and still access the parent window's elements (i.e. set text fields to values obtained from validation and such)? Thanks in advance for any help.

Well when you go to another domain you are killing the parent child relationship.

You can try using frames in the pop up window so the window stays in your domain.
