changing content of a window

[cajo_vcambra]

Hi, how can I change the content of a window from another window? And how can I get the window id?

Hope you can help me.

No, it is not what i need. The problem is the following:
I have a treeview in a webpage, and i want to replace the normal behaviour of the right click button of the mouse, for my own options. After a long research, i've decided to use JScript for opening a new window:
window.createPopup();

Everything is working fine, except when i try to use window.open, window.close or window.location, because in this type of popup, all the html is written in a variable and not in an external file.

Please post a link, because I'm not so sure anymore that you are opening a new window... Or using a context menu.

Actually, i'm using both:

Using that kind of a popup, those methods are not available. Also. window.createPopup() is IE5.5+ only http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/popup.asp

Whatever the error is, I do not know. Because when I get the error, it locks up my computer. :mad: And my computer is not slow, either. :eek:

Well, it seems that the problem is worser than i thougth, because i don't get any error, it just doesn't work.
Is it possible to describe the error you get, especially line and char.

[Jona]

No, I can't. I clicked it, I got a popup, "Microsoft Internet Explorer Error" but nothing was in the box (everything else on the screen was all messed up and white), so I couldn't see it.

What about a snapshot? Is it possible to send me one?
Jona mentioned that the content was all messed up, it would be nice if i could see an example.
