This seems to be a very complicated issue and I was not able to find something to achieve that. One page is loaded with a script in reference to window.name='MyName'. So, this gives a name to the current page. However, from another instance of IE, I need to detect if another IE window is loaded under the name MyName. Anyone succeeded in doing that?

Remember, this is not one window creating another window. We do not have any object reference from one to another. We need to lookup the hierarchy and detect for a specific window name. So far, I am able to target to the MyName window as soon as I defined the window.name='MyName'. However, I need to get a handle on that object. So, first, I need to detect if a specific IE window is having the MyName as the window name. Then, I need to issue a javascript command that will load a specific URL in that window.
