Re: How to know that a window is still open

[Gordon McComb <gmccomb@ix.netcom.com>]

Thanks.  Not having needed to test if a window name is blank I wasn't aware
that on some platforms you can get back a different value.   Good to know.
'Tis sad that JavaScript is so platform-finickey.  Few people have Windows
95, Win 3.1, a Mac, and Unix installed to test each one (I have three of the
four, but it's still a pain and I don't do it for everything).  They have to
get complaints from Web users to find out their script doesn't work for
them!  Not good.
