Referencing parent window from an iframe on a modal popup

Question

I am using the AJAX modalpopupextender and I have an iframe embedded in the modal popup. I need to be able to reference the parent window (the window from which the modal popup was launched) to reload/change the URL when certain events on the modal popup are fired. I have tried window. top, window.parent, opener, root, etc., and have had no success. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Perhaps this will help

Answer 2

Something along the lines of:

self.parent.opener

I've created a modal popup a bit like that in the past, and that selector enabled me to start mucking around with the DOM on the page that opened the window.

Answer 3

I've tried added the following to the onload event in the body tag for a page on the iframe, and get the error that "self.parent.opener.location" is null:

self.parent.opener.location.href = "default.aspx"

Thanks for your help.
