• I have a parent window named eventLog.jsp
• And a child window named processManager.jsp
• Parent window has a button, on clicking of the button, it calls a function getEventLogProcess().
• getEventLogProcess() will open the popup window(processManager.jsp/child window)
• My need is, i have to get the parent window button id in the on load function of child window.

eventLog.jsp:

<div class="claro" id="menuDiv141" onclick="setWidgetproperty(this.id,'x','navMenu141');" onmousedown="setMenuBarProperty('navMenu141');" onmouseup="setDocStyle(this.id)" style="border:1px dotted white; left: auto; position: absolute; top: 620px;">

Your code seems too plicated to me, so I wrote a test script:

Parent Window

<script type="text/javascript">
function foo(){
     window.buttonid=document.getElementById('button1');
     window.open("childwindow.html","child window");
}
</script>
<body>
<!-- some stuff here -->
<button id="button1" name="NiceButton" onclick="foo()">click here</button>
</body>

Child Window

<script type="text/javascript">
function loading(){
    alert(window.opener.buttonid.name);
}
</script>
<body onload="loading();"></body>
