I have named the new window "newemail1. " I used a time delay hoping
that the new window would have time to open and then the attributes
could be accessed. I'm not targeting the new window correctly, I
suppose. What would be the correct way to do this? I am getting an
"object expected" error. Any help is appreciated.

What is 'tour'? What is 'HideContent'? What is 'newemaill'?

And with the onclick event, you don't need 'javascript:'

How do you reference your new window after you created it?

typically you would do something like:
var someWin = window.open('ne wwindow.htm', blah, blah, ....)

And then with someWin you can manipulate the window.
