I open a new window with LiveConnect from an applet which tells the viewer of my page that he has to wait until the helpdesk connects (I'm writing webpagemirroring for an onlineshop). When the helpdesk connects this opened window should reload the page that consist the calling applet (needed to activate mirroring - all pages are loaded with a servlet).

My problem: If I use opener.window.reload() or window.opener.reload() or whatever the window itselfs gets reloaded and not the page that contains the applet!

What I'm doing wrong? Or is it because the applet executed the window.open() with LiveConnect and their is no opener Object???

Im not sure, but you may want to write a function that opens the window and have it on th epage that the applet resides in. Then call that function with LiveConnect. That may preserve the opener property. jared@aauser.com
