Thanks..... the problem was that the 'current window' is in a frame, so the opener isn't really the Main page.<br />
<br />

Hi, I need to detect if the current window is a popup or not.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;I think opener won't work for me since I have already browsed some links in the window and I always get 'main window' after checking opener.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance !
