In your statement, newWin is the new window's JavaScript name while
NewOne is the HTML name, and it's most of the time the main cause of
confusion and problem.

	It's advised to use the same name.  Or else make sure you're using
the name in JavaScript, like this :

newWin.document.form_name.element_name

	Also, don't forget that forms are attached to document, not window.

	HTH
