I discovered why it wasn't working: I was running the test .html from a
webserver on host1. The servlet is running on host2. Then I ran the
test.html from host2, it ran flawlessly.
So, my question is: Is there a way to return window data from a servlet
running on host2 to the window.opener .html on host1? Fortunately, I don't
really need to, but just in case.
Thanks for the advice.
