Welcome to TSDN.
But I think without having no references you can't do that.
And I think JavaScript will not that having no references of Children Windows.

If you have control over the code, why not keep references to the child windows? Show the code you are using.

You can set the window in an object variable when you open it, and then manipulate it anyway you want to..

For instance..

oNewWindow = window.open(sURL,'newWindow','toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width='+iWidth+',height='+iHeight+',left=' + iLeft +',top=' + iTop);
 
oNewWindow.close()
 

Give that a shot.

Why can't you change the code in the parent window?

PS. what's this number 52 that you put at the end of each post?
