I need to pass an xml string from parent window to child window.

My restrictions
1. It is a window.open and not a modalDialog, so i cannot pass arguments
2. I cannot use querystring due to security issues.

Can anybody tell me a way to achieve this.

xml is of the format <NODE CODE="somecode" VALUE="somevalue" />

I tried to do this as below but it failed

handle = window.open("mypage.aspx");
var objHdn = handle.document.createElement("INPUT");
objHdn.type = "hidden";
objHdn.id = "hdnXenon";
objHdn.value = g_XenonXml;


another way I tried was:
handle.document.write("<script language=javascript>var xml="+xml+"</script>");

but when I did view source, the above script statement had overwritten everything else in mypage.aspx

It works! I had tried the similar way, but missed the setTimeout funda.

Thanks !

I haven't actually tried it myself, but it's also supposed to be possible to open an empty window with window.open and then submit a form to it, right? That would allow you to submit data to a serverside script using POST.
