Window object

[les]

Hello everyone,

Does anybody know whether it is possible to refer to a parent window from popup one?

To give an example: when my website is downloading a new window pops up, which offers an option to choose another language. Once a language is chosed, I would like new pages to be opened in the parent window, i.e in the window which triggered popup. Any ideas how I can do it?

Many thanks in advance,


:)

you can access all aspects of the parent using "top.opener."
