whose document has the cancelButton?
if you are running this in the newly created window, but the document
with the cancelButton is the other window, this clearly won't work.

you'll need to say something like opener.document.getElementById or
otherwise get a handle to original window.

the other thing to check for in the NW source code is anywhere there
is a test like obj.constructor == Array or obj.constructor == "".constructor.
Those tests don't work typically, if obj is from a different window
from the window where the function code is defined.
