The link is calling a function called showItemAttributes(id,name) and looks like this:
<a href = "#" onClick="showItemAttributes('string1', 'string2'); return=false;>This is string 1</a>
The function looks like this:
function showItemAttributes(id,name)
{
var itemSummary = window.open('helpers/ItemSummary.htm','','width=710,height=650,left=50,top=50') ;
itemSummary.document.all.itemId.innerText = id
}
The file itemSummary.htm, which is being opened in the new window has the following code:
<body>
<div id="itemId"></div>
</body>
I am trying to assign the value of the string "id" to the defined area with the id "itemId". When I try to do this, I get an error message that says that document.all.itemId is not an object. The interesting thing is that I can run this same code when it is not within a Frame. I have used many opener and parent.parent type references, so I know that frame navigation can be a little tricky.
If someone out there can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. If there is any more information that anyone needs, please feel free to ask.
I'm not sure if you'd like to go down this route, but how about adding the id value to the URL (window.open('helpers/ItemSummary.htm?myId=someValue') and reading that from the popup window page?
