code in popup html.(hierarchywin html)

<script language="javascript">
    function selectNode(){

//    want to call the js function in the parent window.
//    some thing like parent.test('using', 'dhtmlxwindow v 2.3');

}

</script>

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:selectNode()"><img src="images/select.gif" alt="Select"></a>   

>> want to call the js function in the parent window.  some thing like parent.test('using', 'dhtmlxwindow v 2.3');

Have you tried to use this approach? parent.selectNode() is correct way to call functions from the parent window:  jsp/hierarchypopup_cues.jsp is loaded into iframe by attachURL method.
