Closing child window inParent window.

[shilpajm]

Hi Experts,

I want close child window from parent window after opening/saving text document.I don't have child window code.So no control over child window in parent. I am trying to access properties & methods of child window but getting error "Permission Denied".
Closing of child window is fine but i am not getting child window event in parent. I mean how to know that child window has completed task.

My code is as below:

function checkWindow() {
            if (childWindow) {
                window.clearInterval(intervalID);
                childWindow.close();
            }
        }

  $(document).ready(function () {
            if ($("#ReportUrl").val() != "") {
                var url = $("#ReportUrl").val();
          debugger;
                childWindow = window.open(url);

               
                intervalID = window.setInterval(checkWindow, 500)
}

This is immediately closes window. And also i don't want to use timer.

of course not. window is the endpoint of all events. everything else would be a security risk.

I mean how to know that child window has completed task.

the child window hast to notify the parent window explicitly
e.g. via https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...ow.postMessage

Hi Dormilich ,

Thanks for your reply.

I went through the link. But problem is that i don't have control over client script as client script is not with me.

I am just calling window.open(chi ldurl) function in parent.

then you can do nothing if you cannot change the JS files.
