Technically speaking the child window and parent window are two different instances of the browser. We call them as child window and parent window. They do not have access to each other.So its not possible to perform any action in one window on the click of HTML elements in second window.

Hi,

If your one window is open the another then below code may work for you,

JavaScript

window.opener.getElementById('parentDivId').style.visibility ="hidden";

Give it a try and let me know

Thanks
