You should use JScript or VBScript, I guess. As "IE only solution" you
may check my advise at microsoft.public.scripting.jscript but I'm
pretty sure that they will come to the same conclusion.

Post or link your best attempt you have made so far and we may try to
come together to some cross-browser solution.

ok,to declare it more clearly
the parent window:
<body>
<script>
function OpenChild()
{
var childWin = window.open("t.html");
}

</script>
<input type="button" onclick="OpenChild()"/>
<input type="button" id="try" onclick="f();"/>
</body>
the son window:
<html>
<body onbeforeunload="g();" onload="X();">

<script>

function X()
{

document.body.appendChild(window.opener.document.getElementById('try'));
}


function g()
{

window.opener.document.body.appendChild(document.getElementById('try'));
}


</script>
</body>
</html>
passed in ff,but failed in IE

document.body.appendChild(window.opener.document.getElementById('try'));

appending elements from different documents is not possible on IE (im
99% sure), you have to create the elements
on their corresponding document, probably would be better if you use
innerHTML

Use the subject line to give a clue about what sort of
question you're asking.

What's that got to do with anything? Read RoLo's text again. By the way,
the quoted code also won't work on Opera; again - you shouldn't move
elements from one document to another.

As stated, appending elements from one page to another is a bad idea.
Just return a value from page B and construct a new element in page
A. Not a big deal.

could you provide a instance?
elements with listeners are quite troublesome to handle i think

it can pop out from parent window and return to the parent windows

in principle

But that's unrelated to the problem. You seem to be misreading the
(correct) statement "you can't reliably move nodes / elements from one
document to the other" as "you can't communicate between documents".

IOW, the exactly problem is that:

someElement.appendChild(otherElement);

Is *NOT* guaranteed to work when otherElement is not created by and/or
removed from the same root document that someElement was created by
and/or removed from.
