Window.opener giving "Permission Denied" error

[hussain123]

We have a main window (call it Parent). Clicking on a link in the main window will open up another IE window (Child) using the loadInFrame() method.
In the Child window, i load another IE window (which loads an applet. Call this SubChild). This is for the first time. Now if i go ahead and click on the link in the Parent window, the Child and the Subchild windows are refreshed. None of the windows are closed.

Now if i refresh the Parent window, then the Child Window is refreshed but gives me an error saying the window.opener is null.

Another problem is i get an "Access Denied" if i try close the Subchild window and try to refresh the child window. Am new to this and dont know how these relationships work.

Note: Both the parent and the child window are in the same domain.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Hussain

hi ...

when you refresh the parent window all references are lost so you trash the opener-reference ... in case you need the interaction then just be sure that you close the child-window before you refresh the parent ...

kind regards

I have the same problem (window.opener giving "permission denied" error) except that in my case business requires me to keep the pop-up (child) window open.

My question is why would reusing this window to load a URL give this exception?

It makes sense. Technically, that window no longer exists. Allowing the child access to a new, possibly unrelated window is a security hazard.

When the reference is no longer valid, maybe you should just close the child window.
