---- JavaScript question

I have a question along the same lines...

I have a pop up remote control on a site that takes visitors through a tour of top reviews. The reviews are on various pages are are loaded in the parent window (using: opener.location.href=)

What I haven't been able to figure out (although I haven't tried very hard) is how to reopen the parent window on the off chance that someone closes it and then clicks another link in the remote.

The only thing I've tried so far is various permutations of: if opener == null which doesn't seem to work.

I suppose I could just assign the parent a target name and then use <a href target=""> instead of javascript but that doesn't give me as much control over the parent window without having to rewrite everything.

Anyone have any ideas?
