Thanks for your reply. I tested it a bit more and it turns out, that I can get the dataavailable event *with* the memo *if* I open popup window with incorrect html, without all the <html><head><body> tags, just the html content. It's a little weird for me. Anyway I do not want to do that, so I decided to use ajax instead popup, even if it means breaking our app "standards" (this is a very old web app, lots of things are done in popups). Of course there is no problem with custom events fired from ajax loaded content. My problem disappeared :) Thanks again, Szymon Wilkołazki > > On Jul 4, 10:41 am, SWilk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I got stuck by some window to window communication issue. >> >> I have a main window witch open a popup window with window#open >> method.
