If you are in a po-up and you want to access the opening window  use window opener    The easiest would be if you could load JQuery in the parent window as well   window opener     serverMsg   html    this uses JQuery in the parent window  or you could use plain old document getElementById to get the element  and then extend it using the jquery in your child window  The following should work  I haven t tested it  though    element   window opener document getElementById  serverMsg    element     element     If you are in an iframe or frameset and want to access the parent frame  use window parent instead of window opener   According to the Same Origin Policy  all this works effortlessly only if both the child and the parent window are in the same domain
