I'm not so sure...
I've run into similar problems with event-based systems. What I've
done to work around it (it's a hack) is to define a function in the
page that creates the popup attached to the window, and fire the event
from there rather than from the popped-up page.
Example:
In your primary page, add this:
window.testScript = function(){
alert('foo');
}
window.open("test2.html");
then, in the popup (test2.html in this case) add:
window.opener.testScript();
Assuming they're running in the same domain, the function in your
primary page should get called and you'll see the alert.
From there, try firing your event instead of alerting, and see if it works.
I've attached some sample files that work on my machine.
