naming a window

[okham]

Howdy, folx... how does one name a window when a source file is opened so it can be referred to in a later target?

Windows, like cats, have two names. In this case though, there's a JavaScript and an HTML name. The JavaScript name is returned by the "window.open()" method and the HTML name is passed to the same method as the second argument.

<a href="http://www.w3.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'aelfred'); return false">W3C</a>

<a href="http://xml.apache.org/" target="aelfred">XML</a>

...I can see that as far as an anchor goes, Charles... but does that apply to referencing a file when it's first opened, say, the index.htm? I toy with what you told me, and let you know what I find out... thanks
