If possible, could you provide the JS that is in the xyz function? – cfnerd Jun 10 '15 at 22:21

1control is not even going to the js function... before hitting the function, permission denied error is coming for window.opener. – user1257836 Jun 10 '15 at 22:23

1If you check the documentation here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/opener it says IE does not support if you are opening a site in a different security zone. It could be a setting in your browser – Kevin F Jun 10 '15 at 22:32

Based on an MSDN article, it is likely a problem with creating an Object in the child page. If so, try creating the Object in the parent page, not in the script in child page.
If that isn't the issue, here are a few Stackoverflow articles that might help your cause:

I am trying to use the suggestion "You can pass arguments to showModalDialog function. Simply pass window object as an argument. window.showModalDialog(theURL, window);Yo can access the arguments from the modal window using dialogArguments. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533723%28VS.85%29.aspx var openerWindow = window.dialogArguments;" – user1257836 Jun 10 '15 at 23:38

the variable "theURL" in " window.showModalDialog(theURL, window)" should be the location of the opener (parent ) page ? please clarify. – user1257836 Jun 10 '15 at 23:40
