QUESTION POSED ON: 09 July 2003
I am opening a new window from the JSHeader of the form. This form is opened in two framed windows. I am doing some functionality in the newly opened window (child). After doing it I want to run a function in the JSHeader of the opener window form. Can you please tell me how to call this function from the child window? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can call the function like opener.functionname(), where opener is the document object for the parent window; for example, window.opener.document. Mind you, this will only work if the child window is not a model window.
