adam84 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 From my parent window I open up a child window. What I want to do is run something in the child window, then onces it competes. Update a div tag in the parent then close the child window. this is my JS in the child window function update_parent(){ window.opener.document.getElementById('resultDIV').innerHTML = 'Here I am'; } When I test this, I get an access denied JS error. Any ideas on what I should do or change? Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/214191-updating-parent-window/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Works fine for me. Must be a problem somewhere else in your code. Here is the code I tested with Parent <html> <body> <button onclick="window.open('child.htm')">Open Child</button> <div id="resultDIV">Doesn't work</div> </body> </html> Child <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function update_parent() { window.opener.document.getElementById('resultDIV').innerHTML = 'works'; window.close(); } </script> </head> <body> <button onclick="update_parent()">Update Parent</button> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/214191-updating-parent-window/#findComment-1114728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
