    very simple question..

    what is the syntax used to access a window by its name?


    say my code looks like this:

    
function openNewWindow(winName){
	
	newWindow = window.open('',winName,'width=450,height=300,resizable=yes,scrollbars=no,toolbars=no,top=50,left=100');
	content = "<html><head>";
	content += "<script src='js.js'></script>";
	content += "</head>";
	content += "<body><a href='javascript:;' onclick=\'editWindow(\""+newWindow+"\")\'>edit my window</a></body>";
	content += "</html>";
	
	newWindow.document.write(content);
	newWindow.document.close();
	
}
    Code (markup):

    function editWindow(newWindow) inside js.js receives newWindow as a window object but when I try to do

    newWindow.focus() inside js.js, it says newWindow.focus() is not a function?
