Question

I have an HTML web page that openes a DHTMLWindow, and I want to send that window a parameter
from the ‘fater’ HTML web page, so the DHTMLWindow would be able to pass it on to one of it’s ‘son’ windows.

How can I send parameter to DHTMLWindow?

Or, maybe, is there a way to replace that DHTMLWindow with regualar popup window openened with window.open command?

Really need your help,
Tal.

You can use window.opener to access the parent page.

First, create function at first page to pass parameter to child page like this.

Mainpage.html

<script type="text/javascript">
function sentParam()
{
    return "param receive";
}
</script>

and the child page

ChildPage.html

<script type="text/javascript">
    var paramGet = window.opener.sentParam();
    alert(paramGet);
</script>
