javascript - Pass a value from Parent to Child (Open) window

Question

How to pass value from parent to child window field. I use window.open("www.google.com");

after popwindow is opened i need to pass/set search value typed in parent window to child window(www.google.com)

Answer 1

Set a reference using the window.open() method:

var childWin = window.open("www.google.com" <etc.>);

Then treat childWin as a whole other window. For example,

childWin.document.getElementById('searchField')

will give you a reference to an element with ID of "searchField". Etc. Rinse and repeat.
