Anyone know why this line fails to print anything?
document.write( window.top.myWi ndowArray[i].name);
For that matter, neither does this:
document.write( '>>' + window.top.myWi ndowArray[i].name);
I don't get any errors and other writes before and after work fine.
myWindowArray is not null and does have elements.
Also the higher problem is that I'm trying to maintain my own collection of
windows that persist regardless of page browsing. So I've put them in
window.top. I tried window.navigato r but there was a permission problem
retrieving the window properties.
What would be the best way to manage this global persistence?
TIA,

Hmmm. Any idea why my stereo doesn't work? Point being, context is
everything.
top is a reserved word in JS. Are you naming your persistent window top
or are you referring to the top window in a frameset?
window.frames.t op.myWindowArra y[1].name
For that matter, neither does this:
document.write( '>>' + window.top.myWi ndowArray[i].name);
The only difference being you added >>

What window is it in though?

Show a sample page that displays that behavior.

I'm hopefully refering to some object that is guaranteed to be available. I
don't really care what it is, I just want to stick my array in it.

myWindowArray is not null and does have elements.
What window is it in though?
Some other window, but I'm assuming I can get global browsing persistent
storage by sticking it in a ref to window.top

Nah, just my warped sense of humor at times.

Then don't use top as it is a reserved word that has a meaning in
certain context and window.top will freak it out.

Choose a different variable name. window.myPersis tentStorage

But I thought that each browsed page got a new variable environment so
myPersistentSto rage would not be persistent since the window object
would be a different one after a page browse???

Yes it would.
If you want to maintain variables across pages then you will either have
to use a hidden frameset and maintain your variables in the frameset
itself, use cookies (with the limitations), or track your variables on
the server and reproduce them in each page.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to set a variable in javascript and
have that persist so that it can be picked up by the next page in the
window?
In this case I will actually navigate to the page myself by setting
document.URL. I am happy to do this in a different way but I don't want to
pop up a sub window. I want to pass some javascript stuff into the next page
without having to serialize it all and post it to the server.

A common problem in database updates in the maintenece of "domain

Hi,
Is there a standard for the global 'window' object in browsers? For
example, it supports methods such as setInterval and clearInterval, and
several others.
I know that w3c standardized several parts of the DOM, but this does
not include the window object.
Thank you

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
