Unlike in a windows forms app, a web application doesn't have a "parent" or "child" window concept. At least not from the perspective of the server. You have to deal with this relationship from the client-side perspective.

A window opened with javascript should have the "window.opener" property which will refer to the browser window that opened it. But remember, this is only on the client side of things. Using "window.opener" you could then reference a control in the opener window (parent) and assign it a value.

Master pages has no affect on this behavior.

hi and thanks planoie
thanks for making me clear abt the child parent concept.
but master page have some effect as after the window.opener we have to mention the form name and in master page i do not have form name.

although i have done with this problem , and with master pages i have to write
window.opener.aspnetForm.submit();

and my parent window get sumbitted.

thanks again.

An ASP.NET webform will always have only 1 form... therefore you should be able to do this:

window.opener.forms[0].submit();
