I have a window previously created in javascript named master_window.

I have another window (which is not the parent) which I want to load a page into.

I have tried:

<script>
master_window.main.location.href = "/index.php";
</script>


But it will not work. Any ideas?

Thanks

out of curiosity, why do you have so many windows opening at once? Surely there is a more professional and efficient way of doing this.

The way I see it a site should not need more then 2 windows open.

<script>
function winopen(){
window.open("main.htm", "newWindow", "toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=no,status=no, menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,copyhistory=yes,width=200,height=260")
}
</script>

I guess this is what you are looking for. Just call the winopen function to load a new window.

Your best bet would to be giving the window.open command a var:

var master_window = window.open(...);

master_window.location = 'url.html';

I forgot the command to find it, but think it's possible.
