[Javascript] parent loose handle to child

[David Lovering]

Try naming the child window when you create it, and then you can use the DOM
heirarchy to track to any sttribute within it as needed.

For example, if the window variable was "myWin" you could change the child
window URL thusly --

myWin.location.href = "http://www.yahoo.com";
