I have a page containing a text box called 'basehidden'.
This textbox contains simple code which displays a msgbox upon certain
events, for example :

onblur="alert('blur')
onchange="alert('change')

These events work fine when changing the textbox values manually.

However, i would like these events to fire when i change the contents of the
'basehidden' textbox from a popup window, using the following code:

    opener.document.getElementById('basehidden').value = 'Y';

This correctly changes the value in the textbox, but does not trigger any
events.

Does anybody know how i can fire an event on the parent window from the
popup window ????

Document ? Window ? or individual elements ?

Many thanks.
