从由父选项卡打开的子选项卡页面接收数据-Javascript

Question

I was opening a link (called new_url) from my website by using an iframe ,

The new_url page had a button on it. When I clicked that button, I use parent.postMessage("some message", "*"); to submit some data to my parent page and I received that using

  window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {


  }, false);

However, now, I'm not using iframe and using parent.window.open("new_url",'_newtab'); instead.

My question is that can I received the data from the child tab in the parent tab the same way I received it in case of the iframe . If yes, then how?

Answer 1

Fixed!

Use window.opener.postMessage("some data", "*"); in your child tab.

window.opener is the solution.
