Pointy5,
I've run across the issue similar to it. I ruled it out with the
notion of the following:
When you call functions accross windows, the call chain tracks you
back to the original window (windows have separate JS engines). So
even if you're searching for element in window "A" having started from
window "B", the code of $() function will do the seeking in the "B"
window. In order to break the call chain, you (I did it) have to set a
timeout on window "A" (having started from "B" window) with minimal
time (0 or 1) to call a function local to "A" to do the rest. This
breaks the chain, 'window' object hereafter will refer to window "A",
not "B". To make the call safe.
With best regards,
Andrew
