Questions tagged [window.opener]

The opener property returns a reference to the window that created the window.

When opening a window with window.open(), you can use this property from the destination window to return details of the source (parent) window.

ISSUE : Not working with IE.

SOLUTION : Use window.ShowModalDialog() & window.dialogArguments()
