Window communication when they are at diff domain

[madura12]

I have parent window in one domain say yahoo.com,
from there i open child window say it is in hotmail.com.
From the child window i want to access the hidden varaible in the parent window.
I was not able to access using "opner.window.document ...",
may be due to diff. domain.
I think i have to change the domain using "document.domain"
I would like hear comments, if any has done it before.

madura12,

You should do
window.opener.document.FormName.HiddenName.value

hope this helps, Chiu Chan

thanx for the reply !
the synatx for accessing the opner's hidden variable is
"opener.window.document.frmSearch.txthdn1.value" , i know that.
But the question is, when the parent and child are in different domain the adove syantx is not working.

I came to know that i have to change the domain of child to point parent, then i can access the parent's varaibles.
But that is not working.

i dont think its possible... cross-domain scripting is a security risk, and is restricted, but, if you find a way... please... post it here.

i would like to know whether is it possible if its in same domain, but on different servers
say

http://www.server1.people.com

(parent window) and

http://www.server2.people.com

(child window)
