    window.opener

    Hello everyone. I've written a script which bounces my IE box around the
    screen and then expands it to fill the screen. It works perfectly except one
    problem: it doesn't work on my website. My website uses cloaked redirection
    (which basically means my site name stays in the browser while the real page
    is loaded into a frame). I've tried to change window to window.parent and
    window.opener but either nothing happens (although I assume the script is
    running as I have embedded sounds) or I get an Access Denied error. Know any
    fixes?

      Ok, I think it's to do with security and not being able to access the window
      when the main frame is from a different domain. Damn it!

          Every now and again people post lists of the most annoying things that
          web authors do with javascript from the perspective of users. Moving
          browser windows around and re-sizing windows (especially to full screen)
          *always* appear in the top four. (Usually as 2 and 3 after disabling the
          context menu).

          Every time a user is exposed to some web author pulling silly stunts
          with their browser for apparently no better reason that just because
          they can, there is a chance that the user will permanently disable
          javascript and have an end to it. And strange as it may seem, this group
          does not want to promote actions that will encourage users to disable
          javascript. Instead we want the users to look upon javascript as a
          source of enhancement, no of irritation.

          That sounds perfect.

          Richard.
