How can i add custom attribute to window object using javascript. I am doing it like:
var mypopupWindow = window.open(url);
mypopupWindow.myProperty = window;
But myProperty remains undefined when i try to access it from mypopupWindow, i am using IE.9.
Well, this works for me in Chrome
var originWindow = this;
var popupWindow = window.open()
popupWindow.a = "b"
originWindow.a = "c"
popupWindow.setTimeout(function () {
alert(this.a) //b
},500);
If i run this code on JSBin, the alert displays "b".
So the window.open's returned window's propertie is assigned fine.
You can of course open the console in the new Window in chrome and the Window has a propertie a with the value "b"
Heres a JSBin
I don't think you can set these attributes reliably on the window object itself, but you could set them on the windows document object instead.
