Question

I followed this article Pass value from child window to parent window.

It is working perfect in Firefox and chrome, but gives error in IE8 and IE9.

To open the child page I am using:

window.showModalDialog('child.html','','width=550,height=170,left=150,top=200,toolbar=1,status=1,scrollbars=yes');

It gives me following error:

Please help.

You can try with this code

window.showModalDialog(child.html,'','unadorned:yes;resizable:1;
dialogHeight:170px;dialogwidth:550px;scroll:yes;status=yes');
