td onclick problems

[hiroyuki]

i need to get the values of the cell in the same row when i click the cell. the table is generated using document.write.

sample code

<script type="text/javascript">
function cmsSearch(){
var winnew = window.open("result.html", "result", status)
winnew.document.write("<table>");
winnew.document.write("<tr>");
winnew.document.write("<td onclick='getVal(this)'>xxx</td>");
winnew.document.write("<td>yyy</td>");
winnew.document.write("</tr>");
winnew.document.write("</table>");
}

function getVal(e){
var row= e.parentNode;
var s= "";
for(var i=0; i<row.cells.length;i++){
s+= row.cells[i].innerText;
}
alert(s);
}

when i click cell that has a value of xxx, xxx and yyy will be used as arguments to function getVal(). problem is runtime error occura and it needs an object. what seems to be the problem?

function cmsSearch(){
var winnew = window.open("result.html", "result", status)
winnew.document.write("<table>");
winnew.document.write("<tr>");
winnew.document.write("<td onclick='opener.getVal(this)'>xxx</td>"); // referencing error
winnew.document.write("<td>yyy</td>");
winnew.document.write("</tr>");
winnew.document.write("</table>");
winnew.document.close(); //always close an opened document
}

function getVal(e){
var row= e.parentNode;
var s= "";
for(var i=0; i<row.cells.length;i++){
s+= row.cells[i].firstChild.data; // innerText will only work in IE
}
alert(s);
}
