Re: checking parent's URL ?

<script language="javas cript">
myURL = window.opener.l ocation.href
if (myURL == "http://www.xxx.com/")
{
window.opener.l ocation.reload( )
}
</script>

This only owrks if you opened the pop up using the window.open function.

if (window.opener)
myURL = window.opener.l ocation.href;
//the above line fails if window.opener
//is from a different domain from the
//current page.

It only works if you opened the popup using window.open *and* the two
pages are in the same domain.

But, quoting what you are replying to *always* works and lets people
know what you are replying to. Read all about it in the group FAQ.
