[Javascript] Setting a variable in a child window

[Andrew Bush]

Hi all,

I open a new popup type window from my main window using
newWin=window.open(etc etc)

the javascript in the new window declars a variable
var myParent;

what I want to do from the main window, immediately after opening the new
window is somthing like:
newWin.myParent=self;

this direct approach doesn't work, I assume because it takes a little time
for newWin to load and read the javascript that declares myParent.

does anyone know of an alternative approach that will work?


Thanks for any help.


Yours cheerfully,


    Andrew Bush
