new window target different frame in original window

[Danny]

I have a frameset with three frames. From one of the frames I
generate a new window with the javascript that is at the bottom of
this post. From the new window, how can I target a different frame in
the original window than the one that generated the new window? Any
help is much needed and appreciated.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

function launch(newURL, newName, newFeatures, orgName) {
var remote = open(newURL, newName, newFeatures);
if (remote.opener == null)
remote.opener = window;
remote.opener.name = orgName;
return remote;
}

function launchRemote() {
myRemote = launch("newWin.htm", "newWindow",
"height=400,width=400,channelmode=0,dependent=0,directories=0,fullscreen=0,location=0,menubar=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=0,status=0,toolbar=0",
"bottom");
}

// -->
</SCRIPT>

You should name the frames in the frameset. Assuming you named the frame
you want to be targeted "main" and the frames are NOT nested (only one
frameset tag)...

opener.parent.frames["main"]
would reference that window of the frameset from the popup.

opener is the frame (window) that opened the popup.
..parent is the frameset.
..frames["main"] is the frame named "main" in the frameset.
