Hey all,

Is there a way to have a window opened with window.open()
inherit the parent windows JS environment?

In other words, I call window.open() with a URL that displays
a form created by a PHP script.

JS code has already been loaded by the parent, and I need to
be able to access that code via mouse overs and onclick calls
from the code in the newly opened window.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Skip

Not really anything to do with PHP there :p

What you're looking for though is window.opener which allows you to
reference the window object of the frame that opened your new window,
and access all of its functions and variables.

Thanks,

Yup, window.opener it is.

Much thanks. I was surprised how much Googling I did and
didn't find that.

Well, given the breadth the topics I've seen discussed on this
list I thought it would slide by.

But for my penance I'll ask the following:

"Is there a way to have a window opened with window.open()
inherit the parent windows JS environment... when it resides
in a much larger PHP/MySQL application?"

How's that for a qualifier! :)
