can u show the code?

this the parent calling code:

<script language=JavaScript> win1=window.open('EduCatTr ee.aspx?contname=txt&showtype=2' , '', 'status=yes,Height= 300,Width=500,scrollbars=yes,resize=yes, resizable=yes,toolbar=no '); </script>



and this the child returning script
as this script is generated by the asp so i will cut some of the repeated rows
:>>

<div id="d11000" >
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<span style="cursor:hand;COLOR: #ff3333; FONT-FAMILY: Arial" onclick="javascript:window.opener.document.all.ite m('txt').value='48';" id="a48">
module1</span><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<span style="cursor:hand;COLOR: #ff3333; FONT-FAMILY: Arial" onclick="javascript:window.opener.document.all.ite m('txt').value='49';" id="a49">
module2</span><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<span style="cursor:hand;COLOR: #ff3333; FONT-FAMILY: Arial" onclick="javascript:window.opener.document.all.ite m('txt').value='50';" id="a50">
module4</span><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<span style="cursor:hand;COLOR: #ff3333; FONT-FAMILY: Arial" onclick="javascript:window.opener.document.all.ite m('txt').value='51';" id="a51">
module5</span><br>
</div>

and as i told you this script is working fine on one machine and other not .... i removed the close script to allow me see that there is error

Are both machines running IE? Only IE supports document.all.

I am having a similar issue too. Any one have any idea.

To add some colour to this issue.

I have a Parent page with a Web User Control that consists of a DateField textbox. I wanted to populate a selected calendar date from a Child page's calendar to the DateField textbox.

So this is my code
window.opener.document.all('WebUserControl:DateFie ld_Textbox').value='04-Jan-2007'

This code works fine in 3 machines but not on one particular machine. I suspect that the machine doesn't like the ':' syntax. Anyone have any suggestions?
