contacting the starter window?

[jon.sjodin]

Hi everybody,

Im currently working on a javascripted page that uses multiple windowses (ie, lotsof open(stuff)).
I whant from one of the opened window, refer to the starter window. And need some help.

if I do something like this on the starter window:
var myWin=open"theHTMLJSpage.html","QueryAns",params);

in theHTMLJSpage.html i write
alert(top.name);

I get the folowing aswer:
QueryAns

How do i from theHTMLJSpage.hmtl contact the starter page?

Does anyone know?
Regards,
-- Jon

Your "Starter" window is refered to as the "opener"

So if your starter window has a name it would be

alert(opener.name)
