use this code for your solution

  1. pageMain.html

    <html>
<head>
    <title>Parent Window</title>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="data" value="23444" />
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:openChildWindow();">Open Child Popup window</a>
</body>
<script>
function openChildWindow() {
    window.open('page1.html','childWindow','width=400,height=400');
}
</script>
</html>

  2. page1.html

    <html>
<head>
    <title>Child Window</title>
</head>
<body onload="initializeMainDiv();">
    <div id="mainDiv"></div>
</body>
<script>
function initializeMainDiv() {
   alert( window.opener.document.title )
  }
  </script>
</html>

You are probably trying to access the title of the parent window from an iframe which is located on another server. For security reasons it is impossible.
