Child window cannot open parent window

[hansolo]

The child window suppose to use the existing parent window and redirect the parent window to a new page but open a new window instead. All PCs that I tested using IE5. Interestingly it works few others but didn't work on other PC (open a new window).

I used the following script for the parent
self.name = "MyParentWindow"

and for child window

window.open('../home.cfm','MyParentWindow')

I couldn't understand, why the script behaves differently on different PC. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

use opener.location.href = '/home.html'instead of window.open. There's bugs in IE.
