    Posted: 04 April 2005 at 1:44am
I know that the properties of an object can be edited by using javascript, along the lines of window.document.form.field.value="blah"
but i was wondering whether it is possible to alter to properties of an object in another window? along the lines of maybe computer.window2.form.field.value="blah" or is window the highest level js can go to?

i believe you can set window to anything that is a window

so self.document.form.element1.value = "blahh"

does the windoiw it is in

TopNav.document.form.eleement1.value="blahh"

that would look in a window called TopNav

how do you determine what a window is called? is it the name of the file open in that window?

within the frame set you set a name to each frame window.





<frameset rows="200,*,63" cols="710" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">

  <frame src="/Templates/top.asp" name="topFrame"
frameborder="no" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0" >

  <frameset rows="*" cols="*,100,510,100,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">

    <frame src="/Templates/blank.asp" name="blank1"
frameborder="no" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0">  

    <frame src="/Templates/side_bars.asp"
name="leftFrame" frameborder="no" scrolling="NO" noresize
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

    <frame src="/display.asp" name="Display"
frameborder="no" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
id="Display">

    

     <frame src="/Templates/side_bars.asp"
name="leftFrame" frameborder="no" scrolling="NO" noresize
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

         <frame
src="/Templates/blank.asp" name="blank 2" frameborder="no"
scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

  </frameset>

  <frameset rows="55" cols="*,710,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">

           <frame
src="/Templates/blank.asp" name="BottomBlank1" frameborder="no"
scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

    <frame src="/Templates/bottom.asp"
name="BottomFrame" frameborder="no" scrolling="NO" noresize
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" >

           <frame
src="/Templates/blank.asp" name="BottomBlank2" frameborder="no"
scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

</frameset>

</frameset>

<noframes>

<body>

</body></noframes>


in the above code we have the name tag each name tag is a window so to launch/do something in those windows you put the name of the window for example BottomBlank2


also you can name pop up windows when they are created to launch script within them

or you can focus on a window that opened that window using window.opener.focus or another command

I think it's something like parent.form or something.  Lookup 'Javascript Parent Window Forms' on Google or something like that.
