I have used a simple application.

A main window creates a child window at the click of a button.

In the child window, I am performing some operations and thru Javascript, I am closing the child window, and submitting the parent.

I want the submitting of parent window to take place 3 seconds after closing the child. Here's my code 4 the Javascript in the child :

mywin.document.write('<input type="submit" name="child_bttn_sub" value="Done" onClick= "javascript:self.opener.history.back(-1);self.close();setTimeout(window.parent.SubmitCon tent(),3000);">');

Here mywin is the child window object and SubmitContent() is the function in the parent form that I wish to execute.

It's not working...any1 has a clue ?

Hi Sherbir,

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but in the following code...
The function call in setTimeout will never get executed, because you are closing the window you are setting the timeout in.

In addition (I may have the wrong end of the stick here) window.parent refers to a window higher up a frameset & I think you are trying to access the window that opened the one with the code in, so you need to use window.opener instead.

HTH,
