Unfortunately, I don't have an answer, but I do have a RELATED question. For reasons which are too long to explain here, I need to CLOSE the parent window from the child window. Actually, I have been able to do it using the code

opener.close("ParentPage.htm&quot

;

however, it always gives me a confirmation box asking if I REALLY want to close the parent window. Perhaps the opener command was not meant to be used this way. Does anyone know how I can do this withou the little warning.

you cannot close the opener(main window) without a warning. it is a javascript security feature. just imagine u browsing a site and a click of a button closing ur main window.............this can really be painful sometimes!!!! so it cannot be done.....u'll always get the confirmation box!

</head>
<body>
<OBJECT id=closes type="application/x-oleobject" classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11">
<param name="Command" value="Close">
</object>
<input type="button" value="close window" onclick="closes.Click();">
