Including other JS files and using "class" and custom styles

[jamescowan]

I am guessing but I think this article may be saying it is not possible - is
that right?

If you want to call functions in the child window, then you need either:

wdw.unsafeWindow.someFunction();

or:

wdw.location.href = "javascript:someFunction()"

The second is actually preferred, for security reasons.

It's possible.  It's not safe.  Potential privacy and security issues.
Use unsafeWindow to communicate with the content document.

I cannot get this to work. It is not a function within the window I want to
call but within the firefox extension or gm script (basically extension
based ipc).

In some circumstances I can do a setTimeout call and it works.

For example in the child window I can do

window.opener.setTimeout("Somefunction()", 1) and it works

In the parent window childWdw.setTimeout("Somefunction()", 1) does not work.

In the parent window try

window.setTimeout("childWdw.Somefunction()", 1)
