Controlling specific popup window

[Math]

Hi,
I have a main HTML page who opens diferrent popup windows, each of them with
a specific ID.

Now my needs are to refresh the content of only one of them at onClick event
on main page.

The function used to open popup is:

function showImagePopUp( pURL, idFoto){
var id = 'popup_'+idFoto ;
var popW = 830, popH = 700;
var winl = (screen.width-popW)/2;
var wint = (screen.height-popH)/2;
popup_win = window.open(pUR L, id,
'status=no,resi zable=1,scrollb ars=1,width=' + popW + ',height=' + popH +
',top=' + wint + ',left=' + winl);
}

My question is: how can i get the correct window object to apply the reload
method?

Greetings and thanks for any suggestion.

Windows do not have an ID, they have a name.

You don't really need Location::reloa d(), usually proper cache control
headers would suffice: Just pass the same name you used before with
window.open() and a different or the same URI. However, window.open()
will then return the object reference which you can use to call any method
of the respective Window object or of the objects its properties refer to.

You can also keep the retrieved object reference globally available;
however, you would then need to test whether the reference is still valid
before using it as the reference base for a method call.
