<P>If the <EM>a</EM> variable wolud be a HTML element
like (span, div, input type="text" or input
type="hidden" and many others) you could access it by
the child window. In the child window, just write this
code: window.parent.document.all['oElem'].innerText 
"What you want..." and that's ok! (oElem is the id for
a div element existing on the parent window).
