I have a page with this
   <script type='text/javascript' src='myscript.js'>
in the head. 'myscript.js' contains an object called 'API'.

A user clicks on a button to open a new window and the new window checks 
for the existence of API in the opener.

API is found when I test with every browser I have off the desktop but 
if I test with iOS Chrome errors with "API cannot be found".

I've narrowed the problem to this
   window.alert("win= "+window+" + "+window.opener);
with Chrome on iOS displays
   win= [object Window] + null
even though the opener window/tab exists.

How do I reference the opener with Chrome and iOS?
