Binding jQuery event on a child window

Question

I have a page that has the following javascript:

var w = window.open(\"somePage.html\", \'\', \'width=500, height=500\');
$(w).bind(\'someEvent\', function() { a         


        

Answer 1

I think the problem is that $ still refers to the jquery in the host window. If you do this:

var w = window.open("somePage.html", '', 'width=500, height=500');
var $ = w.$;
$(w).bind('someEvent', function() { alert('I see the event!'); });

you should be good to go.
