renaming, then closing other pages

how would I rename a current page in javascript then get another page to reload it? I have seen some code:

window.name='picform';

but that doesn't seem to rename the page so when I

picform.close();

it doesn't seem to work.

any ideas?

questions: why do u need to rename the current window and get another page to close it? could you just use window.close() to close that window directly??

:confused:
