calling function from window

[theEclipse]

I am writing a small game which uses an external window to input data.&nbsp;&nbsp;the window scripts fine, but when I try to activate a function in the main window, it gives me an error.<br><br>I thought that the syntax would be:<br><br>parent.document.functionName(Parameters);<br><br>but that syntax gives me an error.<br><br>thanks for any help <p>theEclipse<br><a href=mailto:eclipse_web@hotmail.com>eclipse_web@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=robacarp.webjump.com>robacarp.webjump.com</a><br>**-Trying to build a documentation of a Javascript DOM, crossbrowser, of course. E-mail me if you know of any little known events and/or methods, etc.

Try this:<br><br>opener.parent.document.functionName(Parameters);<br><br>the OPENER refers to the window that opened the window you want to call the function from.&nbsp;&nbsp;So if the function is in the main window, and from the main window you open a popup or whatever, you can refer to the main window by calling it 'opener'.<br><br>Hope this solves your problem.<br><br>Jason<br>
