Hi,

I dont think you can do this but maybe there is a way.

I have a windows which has the name "edit."
This one opens another window which is a kind of selection menu. OnClick of a link it should change the value in a form of the window by which it was created and change a picture source in the same window.

parent.edit seems to be undefined so what could be the way to access that window?

Hi Malte,

I'm a little confused. You imply using frames (parent.edit), but say "edit" is the "window's" name. At any rate, if edit opens a window, you should be able to use:
opener.document.formname.fieldname.value = 'new value';
and:
opener.document.imagename.src = "new.gif";

Works perfectly.

THANK YOU!!!

Looks like my JavaScript documentation missed that object. Instead it created the impressions that parent or top would be super object to all windows, either frames or windows.

Thanx,

Malte
