javascript thread: cannot access variables of opener


Message #1 by ertoz@c... on Tue, 26 Jun 2001 00:04:58
hi,
i'm trying to use 'opener' to access the variables and functions of the 
parent(opener) of a popup window. it doesn't work on win98. it seems to 
work on NT. it doesn't work on windows ME. when i alert(opener.top.length) 
it tells me the correct number of frames in the main page (3). when i try 
to alert(opener.i) it tells me "access denied" which is a different error 
message than the one you get when the variable with that name doesn't 
exist.

i tried lowering down the security settings for my computer but it did not 
help. anyone have any ideas about this one?

thanks
