Notify the calling window

Hi,
does anyone knows if it's possible to notify a calling window (the one opening another using : newWin = window.open...) from the callee?

I want to notify the caller that the callee has finished what it had to do and that the caller may proceed with what it has to do.

So far, I tried calling a function of the calling window from the callee like that:


it gives me an "object doesn't support this property or method" error

in the calling window, I just want to check that the callee didn't had any error. since the callee should close itself if there was no error, in my BeNotify function, I check if the callee is closed, if not I close it and prompt the user with an error like this :



another problem I have is that if there is an error in the callee, the code stops to execute and doesn't call the caller function.

So basically, all I want to do is notify the calling window when the callee window is done (this window is only ASP, hidden window that runs a Transac SQL string and then close) or if an error occurs.

I hope it's clear, if not I will clarify.

Thanks all

Update:

The function call from the callee does work, it seems it was a cache problem and not a code problem, but, as I thought, if the page indeed has an error, the code stops so it won't call the caller function.

if anyone wants to call a caller function from the callee window, use this:




Does anyone knows if it's possible to put an error routine so that when an error occurs, some code is executed (as the try --> catch sequence in C++)?

Thanks
