I wonder what limitations exist when using prototype to manipulate elements in a dialogue window
For example I open a window, write some html:
var win = window.open("", "dlg",
"width=500,height=500");
var doc = win.document;
with (doc) {
write("<html>");
write("<body><p
id=''start''></p></body>");
write("</html>");
close();
}
And then I want to insert some objects from the current document. For
all I can tell, the elements in popup cannot get extended (I''m using
prototype 1.6.0.2). Neither automatically (as a return value), not
explicitly:
var p = Element.extend(doc.getElementById("start")); // this does not
extend the element, right?
Element.insert(p, $(''message'')); // works;
"message" is an element
in the current doc
p.insert ($(''message'')); // does not work
Is there a workaround - a way to extend the elements from the pop-up?
Referencing of the prototype.js also in the pop-up window does not
seem to make any difference.
Are there any other things that does not work when working with
several windows?
Thanks, Normunds

Re: I wonder what limitations exist when using prototype to manipulate elements in a dialogue window
Hi Normunds I posted about this in another thread just a second ago regarding setStyle not working on an iframe. Search my file browser thread a few months back. I ran into a similar problem and never found a workaround and used a lightbox instead. Perhaps the core guys could shed some light?

But I still fail to find your thread. I found one where you are complaining about elements not being extended, but there is no solution in that one; I suspect it might be related to the same case/issue. I think this might have something to do with the use of $() to extend that in IMO works for only the current document. Though Element.extend() is also not working... dunno. It would be interesting to find out what is going on and to get some solution/workaround, but I think I will also go the easy way and either use a simulated pop-up or put some code in the dialogue window to minimize the interaction.
