Referencing images on newly opened windows? 1

[AndyB21]

Can anybody tell me whether you can assign images that exist on a new window that you have opened up using window.open(....) to images on your parent page? Does that image have to have a 'name'?

Or are child windows' images protected by security issues?

Cheers,

AndyB

I haven't tried this, but I think you can. Windows protected only if they are from other "domain" (for most cases - site).

Thanks, this is what I have found. If I open up a local window then I can assign images between the windows. Opening windows from another site gives me security violation problems.

I am trying to assign an image that appears on a sister site to an image on my site dynamically every day. Does anybody know of any ways in which that could be accomplished?

Cheers,

Andy.

if the name of the pciture can remain static: pictureoftheday.jpg for example, you can just use that as the image src:

<img src=&quot;

http://sistersite.com/pictureoftheday.jpg&quot;>
