Actually it's wierd... can't really figure out when the window is referencable and
when it's not..
This is what does work:
win=open("javascript:void(0)","thewindow","width=400,height=400")
win.moveTo(0,0)
win.document.write("<HTML><BODY>bla</BODY></HTML>");win.document.close()
win.focus()
Now moving the window after writing to it generated an error.. but not before....
And trying to focus the window before writing in the HTML tags, also generates an
error....
now go figure ...

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. )
