Do you have Master Page for that opener page?

look at code above that says page-a.aspx

If you have master page, the id of the control will not be same as which you gave. In run time the id of the control will be changed. In prefix it will add contentplaceholder's id.

For example if you have image id as Image1, in run time it will be changed something like ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_Image1. To find the id of your control in run time right click your page at run time and go to view source.

You have to use the id which is displayed in view source.

The image Id remains image1 in view source. I am not dynamically creating the image, it's hard coded so the id will not change.
