writing to the child window

[clyde]

Using document.write works fine, but I want to write to an anchor tag in the child popup window. I tried:

mychildWin.document.getElementById("childAnchor").value = "Hello";

which fails and when I popup an alert(mychildWin.document.links[0].value);
I get null. But the popup has this element.

When I use mychildWin.document.write("hello"); the hello appears fine.

What am I missing here?

I suppose it should be:

Code: Select all

document.getElementById('childAnchor').innerHTML = 'Hello';


See if it helps

I am afraid it did not work either. When I check to see if the anchor is there I get null. Even tho my child window has this:

<a href="#" id="childAnchor">Hi</a> and I see the "Hi" on the page.
It claims that there is no element in mywin.document.getELementById("childAnchor");

I am confused.
