[Javascript] Window names

[dave tee]

I have a related question while we're on the topic. I assume once a new 
window has been opened with a unique name it can be referenced by that name. 
I have tried a number of ways to close another window from a remote page 
(using its name) but cant seem to get it to work.

Is this possible? and if so how can I reference the window name remotely?
