Thanks you for the Javascript. That will work with a whole new Window - childWindow=open(file,window,'resizable=no,width=200,height=400') and not with the CFWindow tag.
Using the script with CFWindow, I will get a Javascript (Object expected) error (tried it with parent and opener). I think it has to be controlled through AJAX. I tried the ColdFusion.getElementValue but it has to be within the same form (since it doesn't have a container parameter).
