Can a parent focus/close a child window?

[Randell D.]

I have a parent window that calls window.open("myurl","mywindowname");

I would like to do the all (or some) of the following - can someone help?

From the parent, close the child and...
From the parent, focus the child...

Anybody help me?

Thanks,

Disregard my last post.

var myWindowHandle = window.open('myURL','myWindowName');

myWindowHandle.focus();
myWindowHandle.close();

The myWindowName can be used with targets:

<a href="somewhere.html" target="myWindowName">Somewhere</a>
