Remote modify existing open window form?

Hi

I have been searching this group but I haven't found anything I can
use...

Is it possible to remote modify an already open window form from a
local HTML file?

Example (simplified):
1. I have a local HTML file, where I have some kind of link. When this
link is pressed, then I need to add a "searchstring" into...
2. the second already opened window form (e.g. Google)

I need to do this to avoid any copy / pasting of these values.

All I have read about is that this is possible if I use Parent/Child
windows, but I would like to know if this is possible to do between two
independant pages?

If you have any idea, then please let me know :-)

Best Regards,
Martin M. Christiansen

Hello Martin...

Forget it!

Your local HTML file and the other (ie. Google) are not only in two
different
instances of the browser, but also belonging to two different domains.

Cross-domain scripting is not possible with client-side Javascript.

Your best option is to replace your local html-file with a local application
instead. For example a VB or Python App where you open google inside the App
in some kind of HTML-aware control. From there you can manipulate the page
as much as you want...

Hi Dag

Thank you for your fast answer. I sort of expected that as I could not
find anything about it anywhere. I will come up with another solution.

Best Regards,
Martin
