Turns out the problem was based on 3 developers working on related code at the same time. Once we got them sorted out, the problem disappeared...
Thanks anyway.

Here's the scenario: 1) On the main page, we declare an instance of a javascript class (which we created). 2) The main page opens a pop-up window which takes in some information, and stores it in an object local to the popup window. Next, the code passes the object to a function in the object on the main window (addObject();). The addObject() function creates a new local version of the object, and populates it's properties based on the values of the passed object, then it adds the object to an array. The problem is that when we pass the object to the function, once inside the function, the object has no values - as if the object lost it's reference. I've include some sample code below, but everything I've seen says this should be valid. So, I'm looking for suggestions - google wasn't too much help in this case. Thanks for any assistance that can be offered. Sample Code - Class definition: function MyObjectAddObject(oObject) { var oNewObj = new SubObject(); oNewObj.ID = oObject.ID; oNewObj.Name = oObject.Name; this.ObjectList[this.ObjectList.length] = oNewObj; return oNewObj; } //constructor function MyObject() { this.ObjectList = new Array(); //collection of objects this.Name = ""; //methods this.AddObject = MyObjectAddObject(); } Sample Code - Main Page <script> var oMyObject = new MyObject(); function OpenPopUp() { . . . } </script> Sample Code - Popup Window <script> var oMyObjRef = window.opener.oMyObject; var oLocalObj = new SubObj(); PopulateSubObjectFromForm(); // NOTE 1: both object references are valid at this point. oMyObjRef.AddObject(oLocalObj); // NOTE 2: we used alerts before, after and inside the function to demonstrate things are functioning, correctly. // inside the function, the passed object becomes empty, and the properties are null. </script> Thanks again for any help you can offer.
