Is there a way to know if a window is opened by antoher window or not? I know you can access that other window by window.opener, but i would like to check on this.

Thanks

I've found the solution on the net:

typeof(window.opener) == 'undefined'

Thanks

Are you trying to check from the page that opens the window or from the window that's been opened?
