Hello! I'm developing a web application that opens a popup using windows.open(..). I need to call a function on the opened window using the handle returned by "window.open", but I'm always getting the error message "addWindow.getMaskElements is not a function", as if it couldn't access the function declared on child window. This is the behavior in both IE and FF. My code looks like this:
function AddEmail(target,category)
{
if(addWindow == null)
{
currentCategory = category;
var left = getDialogPos(400,220)[0];
var top = getDialogPos(400,220)[1];
addWindow = window.open("adicionar_email.htm",null,"height=220px, width=400px, status=no, resizable=no");
addWindow.moveTo(left,top);
addWindow.getMaskElements ();
}
}
I've googled and read from different reliable sources and apparently this is supposed to work, however it doesn't. One more thing, the functions in child window are declared in a separate .js file that is included in the adicionar_email.htm file. Does this make a difference? It shouldn't.. So, if anyone has ran into a similar problem, or has any idea of what I'm doing wrong, please, reply to this message. Thanks in advance.
