linking from remote window back to main window

SheriSteff · Sep 30, 2002

I need to set up a remote window that contains links back to the parent window. Using just HTML, the control stays within the remote window, but I want the control to go back to the main (the window that is already open). Any suggestions?

something like this?

parent.html:[tt]
<html>
<head>
<title></title>

<script name="javascript">
function launchChild() {
newWin = window.open("child.html","childWin","height=300,width=300&quot

;
}
</script>

</head>

<body onload="launchChild();" name="opener">
<form name="" action="" method="">

</form>
</body>
</html>
[/tt]

child.html:[tt]
<html>
<head>
<title>child</title>

</head>

<body onload="">
<form name="" action="" method="">
<a href="#" onclick="opener.location.href = '

http://www.ebay.com/';">make

parent ebay</a>

</form>
</body>
</html>
[/tt]
