I'm using window.open to create a secondary window, and everything is
working fine with that. My problem is that as soon as that window is
opened, the parent window scrolls to the top of its page. So when the
user closes the secondary window, they've lost their place in the
parent document.
Is this normal behavior for window.open? Is there a quick way to
prevent it, or is it more likely a problem with my Javascript?
The original window should not reload, but is, and I have tested it with both version 4.72 and 7.02, and they both do it. IE does not do it. The big problem is that the original window has security built into it so it must be called from the right referring url, but when Netscape reloads this parent window, it neglects to send the original referring url, so the original page is replaced with an error page as soon as the above link is clicked.
Is there any workaround for this, where either Netscape will not reload the original page, or if it does, at least not lose the referring url?

I am trying to insert the value of a variable gathered from a popup window as an option in a <select> menu on the main window. This is the code I have so far:
Code: var newOption = document.createElement("option"); newOption.value = '<?=$userfile_name?>' newOption.appendChild(document.createTextNode('<?=$userfile_name?>')); select.insert(newOption);
How do I do the rest? I just want to add this new value to the end of the list.
I'm building a program for webmasters, and I need to have it so that I can have an <INPUT> button that, when clicked, will open up a new window (400x350 pixels) with a list of links. However, when the person clicks one of those links, the window closes, the value of an <input type="text" name="parentdoc" size="8" maxlength="8" readonly> is updated.
How would I accomplish this?
(As I mentioned above, I am very new to JavaScript, so please provide as much explanation and code as possible.)
