Hi,
I'm trying to change the content of an existing window from a second window
using window.open(). This works fine in Netscape 7, but IE 6.0 returns an
error, saying there's an invalid parameter. If I omit the target window's
name, everything works fine except that my document is opened in a new
window.
window.open("somescript.php", "existing_target_window");
Can anybody see what's wrong with that?
Thanks,
Bernd 3 5832

Hi,
Do it like this:
var myOtherWin;
if (myOtherWin) {
// already is open
myOtherWin.location="blabla.php";
} else {
// create it
myOtherWin = window.open("somescript.php", "existing_target_window");
}
So the trick is to keep a reference to that window.

Erwin,
the problem ist that my second window has been opened by the first, so I
don't know how to get a reference to the first that I could use in the
second as there is no global windows collection. Any further ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Bernd,
try 'opener'
opener holds a reference to the window that opened the one that is using
opener.
so:
win1 opens win2
from win2 you get a reference to win1 by:
opener.document.location="Doughlas_Adams.html";
There are a few securityrestrictions: if the content in win1 and win2
originate from different domains, some browsers will block cross-window
javascript.
Good luck!
