Hey folks! I RARELY program Javascript so I know very little about it.
The current project I am on requires heavy Perl, Linux shell scripting,
SSI, MySQL and Javascript and my brain is frying......
What I am hacking is a moveable type install for a travelogue. The
initial page of the site is the usual travelogue but clicking on a link
in the initial page will open a new window that displays a dynamically
coded graphic map of places visited. I can name that window through the
HREF "target" link attribute in the initial page (we'll call it
target="navigator"). Problem is when I click a link there in the
"navigator" window and want that travelogue entry to show up in the
initial window.
I thought I could use <BASE TARGET="travelogue"> in the <HEAD> of the
initial document and then use the HREF Target="travelogue" from the
Navigator window but no luck. Also for kicks I can't get _parent to do
it either.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Seems odd that an initial page can
spawn another window and you can send data to that window but not in
reverse. It seems so simple that I must be doing something wrong.
Many thanks in advance,
JC
