What probably happens is when you load a page into a new window,
the browser sees that new page as the object to reference.
It's pretty simple actually; you can't script in a page before it's referencable.
You never notice this in normal pages, since it already is referencable when you
script into it (resoved HTTP header and all that jazz).
But for a new browser window being referenced from the opener window, it's a whole
other ballpark.
Now, I'm not 100% sure that my assumptions are correct, but the wierd thing you don't
get errors when doing some things, like for instance:
win=open("javascript:void()","thewindow","width=400,height=400")
win.document.write(something);
(True, Dan, it is crappy that this does not work for every case... but hey, thems the
brakes. )
