RadWindow - Touch AJAX Timer in Parent Window

[ataxia1]

Trying to restart an AJAX timer running in the parent window whenever a RadWindow is closed with JavaScript.

Here's a snippet of the js code on the window page:

var oWindow = GetRadWindow();
var timer = find$("ctl00_cphContent_RefreshTimer1");
timer._startTimer();
oWindow.Close();

The window close works fine.  The find$ code works on a standard page, but I can't locate the parent page's timer from the windowed page's JavaScript.  Any idea what I can use to reference the timer control from inside the window?  I tried all the basics I could think of (e.g. document.GetElementById)

Assuming I either need to drill back using a .parent or drill down from a window. but wasn't sure where to start.

Thanks

Hello,

What you'll want to do is have the client-side function that restarts the timer on the parent page, and then call that function from the window.  So:

On the parent page:

function start_the_timer() {
  var timer = $find("<%= RefreshTimer1.ClientID  %>");
  timer._startTimer();
}

On the window page:

var oWindow = GetRadWindow();
oWindow.BrowserWindow.start_the_timer();
oWindow.close();

Hope that helps,

Shaun.
