[thelist] To Joshua Olson, or whoever can help me with this Javascript problem

Fri Sep 29 20:26:06 CDT 2000

NOTE: I *did* test this, so it does work (at least in IE5.5).

parent.htm
----------

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

var evolt = "sexy";

function getEvolt()
{
 return evolt;
}

function openTestWin()
{
 window.open("child.htm", "Child");
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:openTestWin();">Open Child Window</a><br />
</body>
</html>

child.htm
---------

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

function getParentVariable()
{
 return window.opener.getEvolt();
}

function testParentAccess()
{
 alert(getParentVariable());
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:testParentAccess();">Test Access To Parent Vars</a><br
/>
</body>
</html>
