Is there a method of naming a document?

ie. var objDoc=document("Main")

It would be very useful

I don't think I see the usefulness. The document object is always available to you. There is only one document in a window/frame/iframe/layer.

It is useful to name a window if it is to be used as a target of a link, or to establish a pointer referencing an existing window.

In JavaScript and in theory you can always assign an object to a property or variable if yo think that it will save you some trouble:

d = window.document
d.write('foo')

Use a frame set to open a full window then use the name of the frame as a targetlike this.....
<html>...

<frameset cols="100%" FRAMEBORDER=0 FRAMESPACING=0 BORDER=0>
<frameset rows="100%" FRAMEBORDER=0 FRAMESPACING=0 BORDER=0>

<frame src="/home.htm" NAME="my_home" NORESIZE>

</frameset>
</html>........

.....var objDoc=document("Your URL","my_home","")
