Ok, it's a little bit tricky for me to post the code as both of the windows have individual frames. But I'll try to explain exactly what I need.
I have Browser opened. There's a button to open a window, that is Window A. In window A, it has a button to open window B. This is not the problem. Just letting you understand that there's 1 browser and 2 windows opened now.
In Window B, there is a link, say, Yahoo.com. But I don't want that page to load in window B but instead, it should load in window A.
What I did is,
<html>
<head>
<script>
function loadpage(){
something here... <---what should I put in here?
}
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:loadpage();">YAHOO</a>
</body>
</html>

When you create new windows, tag them on to a variable. Though the second argument in the open function is the name, I am thinking that is used purely for the target attribute in a link - so here where nitinkhanna said:
opener.WindowA...
this mplies you created that window like:
var windowA = open('','someName',attributes);
So the short answere is Yes, assign it to a variable. BB "Alright whatever man, I'll hook up the hair, but I aint touchin the ring...Cause I'm still a pla--yer"
