Passing data from Parent window to child window

[btreddy]

Hii all..,

I have one query not able to find a solution.

I've one javascript page(parent)on which upon clicking one link it willopen one more page(child page).

here my question is how to set the value for a variable, which is there in the child window,once the user clicks on the link in parent window.

I tried this.

var child=window.op en(child page info here);
child.variable_ name="clicked for the first time";

*variabale_name is the variable declared in child page.

Requesting you all Kindly tell me how to do this one.

Thank you..

"child" probably won't be defined straight away. You will need to wait for the page/window to load. One way is to call a function onload (child) which calls a function in the parent. However, since you're setting a variable in the child window, can you not set it directly in the page when the page loads?
