in popup window, checking if page in opener window - any help?

Hi,

I have a little test script in a pop up window. The pop up page
refreshes every 2 seconds. I want it to check with every refresh if a
certain page (log3.htm) is loaded in the opener window. If that is the
case, another page (log4.htm) must be loaded in the opener window.

In pop up page:

<script>
<!--
if (opener.locatio n.href="log3.ht m")
{opener.locatio n.replace("log4 .htm")}
//-->
</script>

But it aint working :( What happens is that the condition doesn't work,
because with *any* page in the opener window, it is replaced immediately
with log4.htm when the pop up refreshes - log4.htm should only be
loaded automatically when log3htm is in the opnener window. So pop up
and opnener parent do communicate.. but just not as I'd like them.
Anyone??

*&%$
Thnx

Fundamental error.

==
The first assigns.
The second compares.
if (opener.locatio n.href=="log3.h tm")

The comparison operator is "==", not "=".
{opener.locatio n.replace("log4 .htm")} with *any* page in the opener window, it is replaced

The assignment you accidentally typed always evaluates to "true" since
you assign a string that's not the null string. In addition, the href
property will most likely contain more than "log3.htm" (protocol,
hostname, and path info), and you should look if the opener window is
still there:

if (
opener
&& !opener.closed
&& opener.location .replace
&& opener.location .href.match(/log3\.htm$/)
)
opener.location .replace("log4. htm");

Seems I still haven't got the hang of all those window generating code in Javascript. I've got a page with about 15 photo thumbnails. When you click on a thumbnail a new window pops up which shows the enlarged version of said thumbnail. This works fine on all current browsers I've tested. However, in case I do not close the popup but click on another thumbnail instead, only IE replaces the enlarged pic by the new one, Firebird and Opera...

I have a site which uses popup windows as a convenience in filling out forms - you choose some data on the popup, click OK, and it sets data on the parent windows form. This works fine in all major browsers and platforms. However, on Mac IE (OS 9 or 10, all versions), there is one situation where this fails. If the parent window was itself launched as a popup, and the parent window's parent was from a different domain than the popup,...

Any javascript I could try on this? I've got a popup window on my site with the browser chrome removed. Another site's gone ahead and done a popup to my same .html page. The visitor to that site doesn't realize it unless he looks at the opener page's source code. I'm wondering if there's a javascript solution for this? I've tried using the window.opener.location.replace with the href being my absolute URL, and triggered by an onUnload...
