In the parent window: window.open(‘page.php’,’nameIWant’,’toolbar=no’) How do I get the target specified in window.open()

  • 0

In the parent window:

window.open('page.php','nameIWant','toolbar=no')

How do I get the target specified in window.open() from the new window code.

I tried to retrieve document.title, document.name and document.target, none gave me ‘nameIWant’
or is there a simple way to get a string upon opening, that works in IE8.

    You don’t name the document, you name the new window. Try window.name in the newly opened window.
