The first problem is accessing another window if that window is not in a 
popup-opener relation to the main window. I looked through some books and 
tried some weird things but I couldn't find any way of doing it.

Secondly, you might try document.documentElement.innerHTML, this certainly  
works in IE5 and NN6, don't know about IE4.

NN4: forget it.

That's all the help I can offer, I'm afraid.
