In CRM 2011, I am not able to access the Parent form attributes in a external web page using JScript
I have added a Ribbon button on one Entity, when I click this button a web page from a asp.net web app deployed on the same CRM server will be shown,
the following script is part of web resource which is linked with the Ribbon button
window.showModalDialog(URL, window, "dialogHeight:700px;dialogWidth:750px;center:yes; resizable:0;maximize:0;minimize:0;status:no;scroll:no");
when I click the close button on that page, I need to set the parent form attribute value
I tried all these options suggested in MSDN forum but nothing helped me .. Any idea would be really helpful.
<script language="javascript">
var parentWindow = window.dialogArguments;
alert(parentWindow.name);
window.close();
</script>
### Result : alert shown "contentIFrame" and window got closed - just to make sure the script block is working fine.
but the follwoing are not working...
var parentWindow = window.dialogArguments;
parentWindow.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('XXXX').setValue('yes');
window.close();
### Result : No error message , Value not updated, Window not closed.
window.top.opener.top.getElementById('contentIFrame').contentWindow.Xrm.Page.getAttribute('XXXX').setValue('Yes');
window.close();
### Result : No error message , value not updated, Window not closed.
window.top.opener.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('XXXX').setValue('xyz');
window.close();
### Result : No error message , value not updated, Window not closed.
alert(window.top.opener.document.getElementById("XXXX").value;
window.close();
### Result : No error message , No alert, Window not closed.
window.top.opener.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("XXXX").setValue = "TEST";
window.close();
### Result : No error message , value not updated, Window not closed.
var oParentCrmForm=window.opener.parent.document.all.crmForm;
alert(oParentCrmForm.name);
window.close();
### Result : No error message , No alert, Window not closed.
NOTE : XXX, I used the exact name with the proper case , tried with schema name too but no luck
This script is registered like this in the Close Button event
ClientScriptManager cs = Page.ClientScript;
Type cstype = this.GetType();
cs.RegisterStartupScript(cstype, "Updateattribute", script as String, false);
