How to get the references of all already opened child windows

Question

I want to get the references of all already opened child windows. is there any way? I am not using child = window.open(....) just using window.open(....)<

Answer 1

Ok, I used the answers to this question in Oracle CRM onDemand to disable a select in a popup window executing the script from the parent window, and it worked! (I have no control over the generation of popup windows, they are opened by the application framework)

Let's see how I did it:

Context: In a detail page the user can add some info by clicking in a magnifying glass icon >>> a new window opens containing a search form, but a select is disturbing the administrator: If the user change its default value he/she will gain access to forbidden records!! Oh my God!

First Approach: Disable that select now!!

Attempt: I found the image's onclick attrib with my browser's dev tools (F12). There was a openAssocPopup method, and then i knew the name of the child window: 'OccamPopup1' :)

Okay! So let's do some magic (executed at the parent window):

window.open("","OccamPopup1").document.getElementById("frmSearch.AQ").setAttribute("disabled", true);

I think this may help, as this question helped to me too. You were right. Now i'm trying to wrap the child's document object within the parent's jQuery object so i can gain access to the entire child's DOM... but this is another story...
