[thelist] Javascript: the parent of the parent

[Jeff Wilhelm]

When you launch the popup you can declare the name of the parent window:

<a href="#"
onclick="MyWindow=window.open('page.php','MyWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,
directories=no,status=yes,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=600,
height=560,left=50,top=50'); window.name='site'">

Then you can target="site" to target the parent window.

Jeff
