Yup, window.opener it is. Much thanks. I was surprised how much Googling I did and didn't find that.

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! :) Skip -- Skip Evans PenguinSites.com, LLC 503 S Baldwin St, #1 Madison WI 53703 608.250.2720 http://penguinsites.com Those of you who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand. -- Kurt Vonnegut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
