Note that not only can different values be set, but the values don't even have to be Window objects. :( Also, the change may or may not outlive a new document being loaded in the window; I don't recall. Not sure how much of this, if any, should be specified. >> That doesn't work for window.open() and <a target> at the very least. > > How can it be set by <a target>? <a href="someURL" target="namedWindow">Click</a> If there is no window with the name "namedWindow", such a window is created and "someURL" is loaded in it. In this case, the window.name for the new window is "namedWindow", but there is no referencing element and there has been no script running. -Boris
