Hi Helper,

I am doing a web; however, I have a little problem. When I click a button, a window (called as the first window) will be open for certain calculation to do. Then in the poped-up window, I click another button, it will be poped up another window (called as the second window); this window gives me a results of my calculation. The problem I have it now is how can I back to the previous window (the first window) from the second one. I did use window.back(), but it said that this object does not support. What does it mean? How can I fix the problem?? What syntax should I use??
Thanks for your help
Hung
 
What do you mean by "get back to" your old window? You can reference it by assigning it to a variable when you use the open method:

refvar=window.open()

now you can reference it by saying refvar.whatever jared@aauser.com
