Window parent not working in IE 8

Question

I have a parent page and a child page. By using window.opener.parent property,I am able to read the parent page content and display it in the child page.(There is a PREVIEW button on parent page,on click of which the child page opens up as a popup and displays the content of parent page controls.)

This functionality was working fine in IE7/Mozilla/IE6 but I am unable to locate why its not workin with IE8. Can anyone please help?

The window name may be invalid, as IE8 is very picky about it. Verify that the window name does not contain any space characters. For more information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536651%28VS.85%29.aspx
