Dynamic Popup iFrame Problem

Question

Hi,
I'm adding a dynamically created iFrame tag to my main page using javascript to function as a popup page instead of faces-config navigation rules. It dramatically furthers data/page load rendering performance. However, I've got a problem with values I want to pass to my main page since there's no dialog:popup or ReturnListener facility.
I'm using Jdev 10g.
Here is the javascript code to fire the iframe in my page:
<script language="JavaScript">
function newwindow(address) {
var w= screen.width;
var h = screen.height;
var load = window.open(address,'','scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,height='+h+',width='+w+',left=0,top=0,screenX=0,screenY=0,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=yes');
function openPopup (popUpUrl,popUpTitle,popUpWith,popUpHeight){
document.getElementById("mainModalPopBg").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("mainModalPopBox").style.display = "block";
var neww= screen.width;
var newh = screen.height;
var boxw= popUpWith;
var boxh = popUpHeight;
var boxleft = (neww-boxw)/2;
var boxtop = (newh-boxh)/2;
document.getElementById("mainModalPopBox").style.left = boxleft+"px";
document.getElementById("mainModalPopBox").style.top = 60+"px";
document.getElementById("modalPopBoxFrameContainer").innerHTML = "<iframe allowTransparency='true' id='popUpFrame' frameborder='0' src='" + popUpUrl + " '> </iframe>";
document.getElementById("popupTitle").innerHTML = popUpTitle;
document.getElementById("popUpFrame").style.width = boxw+"px";
document.getElementById("popUpFrame").style.width = popUpWith+"px";
document.getElementById("popUpFrame").style.height = popUpHeight+"px";
document.body.style.overflow = "hidden";
function closePopUp (){
document.getElementById("mainModalPopBg").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("mainModalPopBox").style.display = "none";
document.body.style.overflow = "auto";
</script>
Finally, the function openPopup is added to 'Onmousedown' javascript event of a commandlink in my main page.
I would be thankful if you guys could help me out with some handy solutions in my case.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I suppose I'll encounter a problem accessing data in the popup page which is a row of a table. Could you clarify how I should reference Attribute Values/SelectedRowsData in the destination page with opener reference?
I'm embedding a html Iframe tag in the main page when clicking on a commandLink. It adds a <div> tag containing an iFrame which fires a .jspx page that renders a viewObject's data as a readOnly table. I merely need to return some attribute values of the corresponding viewObject or SelectedRows of the table. I cannot use traditional returnListener method of my commandLink since the page is opened with javascript using an iframe tag.
Great thankfully
