Targets can be opened into whole windows also, not just frames. If i make a popup window with javascript, i can give a name to it and use that name later/elsewhere in the document to open links in that window. I need to know how can i name a window by other methods than javascrip. Javascript Code: open(url,"somename",attributes); will open a window by name "somename" Code: <a href="something" taget="somename">link</a> will open into the newly created window named "somename" But what is the name of the default window that gets opened when browser opens? Can it obtain a name from code somewhere somehow? |

I'm not sure that it has a name.
Use document.opener to refer to the page that opened the sub pages.
HTH!

Others are _blank _top _parent
<html>
<head>
<title>Single Frame Page</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="*">
<frame name="whatevernameiwant" src="new_page_2.htm">
<noframes>
<body>
<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>

One can't name page by any other means than by javascrip:
this.window.name='somename'
but thats fine too, use that later in hrefs in other windows to open document to the named one.
