Hello

In javascript, how do I keep openEditor from getting reset each time a page is reloaded? Basically I need per browser global javascript variable that is kept around for as long as the browser is open. Thank you

var openEditor
function ShowEditor(edittype
{
    if(openEditor && openEditor.open && !openEditor.closed)

        openEditor.moveTo(0,0)
        openEditor.navigate(edittype)

    else

        openEditor = window.open(edittype,'','width=800,height=600,resizable=yes')

the only way is to use frames. the global code is in the parent frame, and
only naviagate child frames.
