Popup window link target original window?

[Candrias77]

I have a little pop up window that displays the latest features of a website. I was wanting the normal <a href> links in this small popup window to target the original main page window.

The original window was never "created' so is not named, is it possible to name the window somehow and just target it with a simple <a target> or is there more to it?

I have seen this done with the log in window on www.domainz.net.nz but am not sure where to start.

Thanks.

Try the following


In the main page


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function newWindow(file,window) {
msgWindow=open(file,window,'resizable=no,width=200,height=200');
if (msgWindow.opener == null) msgWindow.opener = self;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Open New Window" onClick="newWindow('a.html','window2')">
</FORM>



In the document loaded into the popup


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function load(file,target) {
if (target != '')
target.window.location.href = file;
else
window.location.href = file;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

<A HREF="javascript:load('b.html',opener)">load document into opener</A>

No more to it. Name that window:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

self.name = 'Candrias77';

</script>

Then:

<a href="...." target="Candrias77">

suppose if we are hyperlinking a keyword, for example Search Engine Optimisation (http://www.alkemi.co.nz), to hyper link a keyword we use html. So is it also a type of coding.
