Newbie:Anybody can correct this?

[Patrick]

Hi guys

I am still learning the abc's of javascript going through many online
tutorials.The one i am currently checking out shows you how to change
properties in a child window from the parent window using radio
buttons.
It all sounds good but it doesn't work.I checked his source but can't
figure out what's wrong.Also his child window isn't retaining focus
when the radio buttons are clicked(His source shows focus in his code
too.).
If you want to give it a try at figuring out what's wrong, here is the
URL.
Just do the tutorial and click on the button, then click on the color
radio buttons on the parent window (It takes 3 minutes).

I know i should email the author but having corrected 3 tutorials
already with minor mistakes and never got answers to my emails from
author, i chose to post here where i always get answers.

Thanks a lot

The onclick in the button looks like this:
onclick="win1=open('http://javascriptkit.com/page2.htm','winname','width=200
,height=200')"

Since http://www.javascript.com and http://javascript.com are different
domains, the browser hits an "access denied" error. Security restrictions
prohibit cross-domain scripting. Accessing the page without "www." solves
the problem.

Brilliant. Shame on those who don't reply.

Hi,

Since http://www.javascript.com and http://javascript.com are different
domains, the browser hits an "access denied" error. Security restrictions
prohibit cross-domain scripting. Accessing the page without "www." solves
the problem.

This problem is described at
<URL:
http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.3/guide/sec.html#1015705>

It can be solved by setting
document.domain = "javascript.com";
in the document at www.javascript.com.
