Don't know if the name property of a window is readonly or not, but if it
isn't, then you could try something like this:
<script>
window.name = "MainWindow";
var subwin = open(.....);
</script>
and then set your target on the child window to the name you defined in the
script.....
I'd try it out, but I'm tied up with an update query with 180+ parameters
right now....

Ok that doesn't seem good. I found a basic way be searching but it doesn't
seem to work. I am using the chromeless windows so I think that is screwing
me up.
