Safari cannot created variable dynamically?

[nick]

I have the following code to open a popup window and pass a value.

In the main html page:

var w = window.open("popup.htm","","width=510,height=450") ;
w.itemIndex = 100; // alert(w.itemIndex) will show 100

The popup window will be openned. However,
in the popup.htm, javascript code

alert(this.itemIndex) shows 'undefined', while it shows right value (100 in
this example) in Firefox, IE.

How to pass value when using Safari?

Thanks.

What does Safari show for
window.itemIndex
?

All this.itemIndex, itemIndex, window.itemIndex shows "undefined".

Perhaps popup.htm renders its content before w.itemIndex is defined?

Not likely, I added alert(itemIndex) in the function called by onload and it
still shows undefined on Safari.
w.itemIndex should create a public member itemIndex of the object window.
