Can you please explain to me why you call it the parent page? >From what I can tell the cfwindow is called from the page request called, if that is the case there is no such thing as a parent page!!
Even though it looks like a window and behaves like a window, doesnt make it a child in the context of a window in a browser. If you do a views ource, you will notice that it is just div containers in the page. What that means is that you dont reference it with parent.functionName() as you would with normal JS and browser windows. Just dont confuse yourself more by calling it a parent. Parent and such is more of a reference for JS when you open a window from within JS with the document.open().
