using the window.opener in javascript caues the javascript error -
window.opener.formxxx has no properties. This has been working fine in all IE
and Netscape.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create page that uses a button or url to call javascript that will open a new
window.
2.Have a button on that new page that will call javascript code on the opening
page using window.opener.yourformname.submit(); - is a good example.
3.
Actual Results:
The form is not submitted and any javascript commands after that are not
executed i.e window.close();
Expected Results:
Submitted the procedure in the opening window that will refresh that page and
then close itself (2nd poped up window)

Please submit a testcase to demonstrate the bug. It's likely caused by an error
in the code.
No error in code as currently working. However window.opener.document.formxxx
(vs. window.opener.formxxx) does work

window.opener.formxxx is not a valid way to reference the object, as it refers
to the opening window, not it's corresponding document. That's why
window.opener.document.formxxx does work.
