Opening variable frameset in PopUp window.

[activethistle]

OK tricky one this...

I want to dynamically change the contents of two frames in a popup window.

I know that

myWin.document.write()

writes to the popup
and

upperframe.document.write()

writes to a frame within the page that the script's on.

But how do you write to individual frames in a remote window?

Most grateful for any assistance.

If your script opened a window by using something like
window.open(...)
than you need to save to some variable window object that this method returns:

popupwin = window.open(...)

and than you can use something like

popupwin.topframe....
popupwin.frames[0]....
popupwin.frames['topframe']....

and so on.

If you opening window by <a target=&quot;_blank&quot;> than you need to revert to above scheme.

BTW: You should know that opening new windows can be restricted in most modern browsers and most users do this.
So you can rely on ability to open new windows only in local or intranet applications where client setup is under your control.

Thanks for your answer - How do you prevent MSIE from opening new windows?
