No it is not working. When i close the child window i know the table row number on parent window. So in that row i want to write "Success", or "Failed"

Pass the status from the child window to a function on the parent. I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but if you have a unique identifier that is known by the child, you can have it write to the parent, or call a function on the parent that will update the itself.

child.html
<body onUnload="opener.setStatus('true','21')">


parent.html
function setStatus(stat, row){
//update the page from here, in a form field, or in a div
}

opener is the key to referencing the parent of the child window.
