lol...I think you're searching for a 'sanity clause'. Bad news: there
*is* no Sanity Clause.

Don't omit the object checks, mandatory when scripting cross-window:

window.onload = function()
{
var form = document.inform ation;
if (form
&& opener
&& !opener.closed
&& 'undefined' != typeof opener.phone_va lue)
form.phone.valu e = opener.phone_va lue;
}

And I'm really curious why it doesn't work.
Can you put complete test code (that fails for you) at a URL I can get to so
I can see it whole?

I wonder if it's something about your browser or ...?
