OT: HTML targeting problem

[PHPThorsten]

I have a small OT problem, and I hope you can help me.

In one of my browsers windows a new window is opened. Now I want in this new window a Form which target is the parent window. The problem is I have no frames, so I have no idea what the target should be.

Any Ideas? ("_parent" didn't work)

Thanks a lot

Perhaps you could use

document.forms['frmName'].action = window.opener();
document.forms['frmName'].submit();
window.close();

This should submit your form to the "parent" page and close the newly opened page..

If you haven't opened this new window by a script/ link the user will get a security message, somthing like "The script is trying to close this page. Agree?" This is caused by the UniversalBrowserWritePrivilege variable. 🙂
