I have an HTML page that opens another page via JavaScript. When a user clicks a button in the other page, I want to post a message in a DIV of the opening page via JQuery. I cannot put my finger on it, but I cannot seem to get this to work. Here is my opener page
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="window.open('dialog.html', '_blank', 'height=200, width=300');" value="launch!" />
<div id="testDiv"></div>
</body>
</html>
When the user clicks the "launch!" button, a dialog will appear. The code for the dialog looks like this:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="updateOpener()" value="Update Opener" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function updateOpener()
{
var testDiv = window.opener.jQuery("#testDiv");
if (testDiv != null) {
alert("here");
testDiv.html("Updated!");
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Surprisingly, the alert box appears. However, I cannot seem to update the HTML of the DIV in my opening page. Does anyone know how to do this?
