i want to lanch a child window, then be able to click a link from the parent window, and then on the next page be able to access the child again.
steps:
1. page 1 launches a child window
2. click a link which takes me to page 2 from the page 1 window
3. click a link on page 2 that closes the child.
can you maintain the relationship to a child window in between pages?
HTML Code:
var mywin = window.open( 'child.html', 'mywin', 'scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,status=yes,width=640,height=480,left=0,top=0');
that is the code i'm using to pop the child window.
on page 2, window['mywin'] is undefined. as i understand it, i should be able to access that variable. i've tried variations of calling it, but i just can't get it.
it needs to work in IE. any insight on this?
