[Javascript] changing graphics in new window

Hi,

I'm pretty much a beginner with Javascript, so please forgive me if the
answer to my question is obvious.

I've launched a new window and would like to be able to click on various
graphics in the parent window, and have them change in the child window. I
used window.focus, but when I click on a graphic in the parent window, I get
a bit of "flicker" when I go back to the parent window to click on a new
graphic. Is there a way to get the new window to stay where it is, even when
I click within the parent window? Here is what I've got:

function newWindow(url) {

var newWindow =
window.open(url,'newwindow','width=550,height=420,scrollbars=no,resizable=no
,status=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no');

newWindow.focus();

}


I'd thought of remote control, but everything I read tells me how to control
the parent from the child, not vice versa. I'd appreciate any help you can
give.
