I haven't tried this on Internet Explorer, but let me know if it works for you.
Create an empty object to hold your data on the window object.
eg.
window._myData = {};
Create a function on the window object. The function is what does the stuff you want to do, sets the data and gets called when the new window closes.
eg.
window._popupClosing = function(data){
this._myData = data;
console.log('done....', this._myData);
};
Open your popup window.
eg.
var w = window.open('https://google.com','_blank');
Set a timer to check if the window has been closed. Then run your function.
eg.
var timer = setInterval(function(){
if(w.closed){
clearInterval(timer);
window.parent._popupClosing(window.location.href);
}
}, 1000);
Remember to close the new popup from a script within the popup using
window.close();
Combining these
window._myData = {};
window._popupClosing = function(data){
this._myData = data;
console.log('done....', this._myData);
};
var w = window.open('https://google.com','_blank');
var timer = setInterval(function(){
if(w.closed){
clearInterval(timer);
window.parent._popupClosing(window.location.href);
}
}, 1000);
Remember to close the new popup when you are done. window.close();
If you can post your data to an endpoint then retrieve the data from the endpoint in your popup close function, that will be better than sending data between windows. I think.
