CGI parent and child windows

TeamSite 6.1.0, Windows, build #33333

I'm launching a PERL script from a TS menu. The script draws an HTML form, which in turn does a 'submit' to chain to another PERL module (with its own HTML form).

Before the 'submit,' the first wnidow does a 'setInterval' so that it remains up until the processing in the second window has completed. Once the second window's processing is completed, the first window closes, and the second window's HTML form is displayed.

I want to write status information to the first window during the second window's processing. I tried usnig window.opener.document.write, but this wrote to the browser window where the TeamSite GUI was running.

Is there a way to get the handle of the first window -- the form drawn by the PERL script launched from the TS menu?

Why do you want to submit your initial form to get the second form? What are you trying to accomplish?

How are you opening the second window?
if you are using window.open from frist window then first window will become opener window and should give you the desired result.
