Call JavaScript function in opener

I need to to trigger a JavaScript function in an opener window by clicking a button in the child.

I thought the following would work, but it is not.

window.opener.MyFunction()

It works for me on IE9. I need to open separate window for a user to upload a doc and on successful upload I must tell opener window to perform some task. Might be other browser you mentioned does not support this.

Try using :

window.onload = function() { MyFunction(); }

It turns out that MyFunction() was inside a jQuery document.ready statement. It worked fine after I changed that. Interesting though, window.opener.close() still does not work.

Are both windows on the same domain (e.g. foo.com?) It might be blocked due to reasons of cross-site scripting security.
