Question

I am recieving the following error when trying to execte the java script listed below in the page load event of an aspx web page.

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Unable to get value of the property ‘document’: object is null or undefined

Dim scriptString As String = ("<script>javascript: window.opener.document.forms(0).submit(); </script>")
If Not Page.ClientScript.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered(scriptString) Then
    Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Me.[GetType](), "script", scriptString)
End If

I am trying to produce a postback.

Any help would be appreciated.

From MDN –

When a window is opened from another window, it maintains a reference
to that first window as window.opener. If the current window has no
opener, this method returns NULL.

Is it possible that the page your script is being called from has no opener? That would explain the document reference being null.
