Pick up messages from another window

My JavaScript (MyScript) opens a new window with reference to a page (TheOtherSite) on which I have no control. Depending on different events, TheOtherSite returns different messages.

What I want is MyScript to pick up the messages from TheOtherSite and act according to the different messages.

How can MyScript pick up these messages? Would it be possible to pick up messages from e.g. the title bar or status bar?

Any ideas?

if you know the names of the form fields within this other page you can access the data in them using dom -- if you create the window that shows the new page.
