Can I retrieve the object of the window opened by window.open

[sowen]

I know I can get the window object by using

obj = window.open( .... );

but what I need is, after the new window is popped up, the opener will
be redirected to another page, I want the another page able to control
the popup window

is it possible? is there something like getWindowById

Thanks a lot!

Have the "another page" open the popup window instead.

no, that's not the process.

forget it, I think that's really impossible.
