It might be a simple, but the funny thing is i’ve tried it for almost 2-3hrs and haven’t been able to solve it :(.

I have a parent window, which has a text box, and it has a value. I do a window.open and open a client and try to read the value of the parent, but unable to get the value.

Any help!!

I’ve tried

  1. window.parent.document.getElementById(window.name)
  2. window.parent.document.getElementById('test').value
  3. window.opener.document.getElementById('teast').value
  4. window.parent.opener.document.getElementById('teast').value
  5. window.opener.parent.document.getElementById('teast').value

Almost all the permutation and combination. And its pure HTML.

    Due to security restrictions, Javascript is unable to access documents that reside on a separate domain from the current one. So, if your parent is on a different domain from the child, this will never work.
