Accessing Parent Fields from Related list Visual force page

Hi..
      I have create one custom list button in  my custom object (A)  as VF page.. This object is related to master detail look up to another custom object (B)....
      That is  A is child B is Parent... 
 When I click my custom list button  from related list of Parent object (B) I have to access parent object fields...
 
How is it possible...
 
I try following code for passing parent id to VF page in onclick  of java script for calling this VF page.. It doesnt work properly...
That is parent id goes blank to the url
 
window.location.href = '/apex/myvfpagename?id={!A__c.B__c}';
 
Any one give some sample code for accessing parent fields or passing parent id to VF page....

Hi,

If you are using master detail lookup, you will get the parent record id in the child itself right?
with that record id you can easily fetch the values.
If you want more clarification just mention the objects names and then how you are giving the relationship between those two objects.

Hi guys,

I just came across very similar requirement as MohanaGopal.
What I've done might be a bit handy and specific but at least I can achieve my goal: having parent Id so that I can do other things in my visualforce page.

What I did is to use JavaScript to do some parsing for the custom button in child object. Details as below

{!REQUIRESCRIPT('/soap/ajax/20.0/connection.js')} 
{!REQUIRESCRIPT('/soap/ajax/20.0/apex.js')} 

var currentLocation = location.href;
var lastSlashIndex = currentLocation.lastIndexOf("/");
var parentId = currentLocation.substring(lastSlashIndex + 1, currentLocation.length);

location.href= '/apex/page_SetupContainerInfo?parentId=' + parentId;

Hope that help.
