Referencing a window

[Andy Levy]

Hi

I know how to open a new window from an html page with javascript.

However once that page is opened ( in my case its like a popup index page ).
I would like to know how to tell the original page to go to a specific page
based on the link pressed on the new popup index page. I cant seem to find
a way to refer to the other window.

Thanks

AL

<a href="path/filename.ext" onclick="if(opener) {opener.location.href =
this.href;} return false;" title="Clicking this link will load it in
the main window"> Descriptive text of the link</a>
