window.showModalDialog AND window.opener 2

[Deadline]

Hi..
I am using window.showModalDialog to open a childwindow which has sub-options for a question in the main survey form.

Why am I not able to access the controls in the parent window using a statement like window.opener.document.all("text1&quot.value ???

Does that mean window.opener works only for windows opened with window.open and NOT for those opened with window.showModalDialog ??

Thank you very much.

Hi,

DialogBOxes are only to pass a value, try to send you forum data in one string... and after split it in the opener window...it works

good luck

ModalDialog's have a return value. you script what the return value is in the dialog box and it returns it to a variable in the opener luciddream@subdimension.com
