Need to pass a value from a parent window to a pop up or child window

[blackpanther]

Hi All,

I need to pass the counter timer value to the pup up window or child window from a java script. but i think reference is a problem here .

childWindow is a pop up window which is opened from a parent window using window.open.. Now i have calculation part where the remaining time starts decreases from 10 to 1. I need to populate this value to a child window/pop up window.

in childWindow i have textbox with id ='remSeconds'. i have used the below and tried out many scenarios where i cant populate the child window with the remainingTime.

Please help me on this..

I have written this in a seperate JS its not in the childwindow..
childWindow.document.getElementById('remSeconds'). value = remainingTime;

What GUI library are you using? Swing? AWT? SWT? Or is this not a Java program but rather a JavaScript program? Our answers will depend on these details.

Hm, I guess you didn't feel the need to answer my questions...
Regardless, I have a sneaking suspicion that you're wanting a javascript solution here, especially with "window.open" type method. If so, then you're best bet is to seek out a javascript forum to ask this question in. This is a java forum.
