You can get a reference to the parent using window.opener, which is only available to windows that were opened by another page. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justsomeguy 1,135 Report post Posted January 11, 2012 I'm sure you can find examples of using the onclose event. There's nothing special about using window.opener, it's a replacement for using the window object when you're working with a different page. If you want to run an alert on the parent window, then instead of using alert or window.alert you would use window.opener.alert. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
