window.opener in NN7

If i open a link either by using the right mouse menu "open in new window"
or press shift (IE) on the link the page will be opened in a new window.
From this window I can use the window.opener object to access the opening
window.

When doing this in NN7.1 I cannot access windows.opener. If I open the
window with window.open I can also use the window.opener to access the
opening window but not if I open the new window by pressing CTRL an clicking
the link or using right click "Open link in new window".

Is it only possible to access the window.opener if the window was opened
with window.open in NN7?

Regards
/Hans

Neither Netscape 4 nor Netscape 7 set the opener property if the user
opened the window by choosing "open link in new window".

First a basic outline of what I am trying to do: I want to have a page spawn a pop-up when you click "submit" on its form. On this pop-up page there will be another form.

The parent window correctly loads the new page after submitting from the pop-up,...

The problem is that after the reload, it brings you right to the top of the page. When I click 'refresh" on the original page, it brings me back to the original viewing position. Is there a way to duplicate this in from the popup window. Also,...

Hello there, I'm running a script that opens a popup window (which is basically a form with checkboxes and a submit button).

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
