A modal dialog in MSIE does not have a value assigned to the "opener" 
property.

However, you can get the opener if you pass window.self as the second 
parameter (dialogArguments) in the showModalDialog method in the parent 
page:

     result=showModalDialog('mychild.html',window.self,...);

and in the child page, you can either reference the dialogArguments 
directly or you can assign it to the window.opener property and then use 
it as you normally would:

     window.opener=window.dialogArguments;

I recently ran into this problem myself and folks on this forum helped me 
solve it!
