How a child window can read a parents stylesheet ?

No - this won't work for me either as my child window is dynamically
created and depends entirely on the parent for information... thus...
how can I query the parent opening window, read its CSS and utilise it
within the child window?


Use the DOM methods available for stylesheet access. I'm too lazy now

to look them up, but you can actually access all stylesheets in a
document.

Thanks - This is exactly what i am trying to do but I have been having
difficulty implementing it. My o'reilly Javascript pocket reference
tells me there is 'Style' object but it works on elements but my
attempts thus far have failed. Can you give me an example - or at
least correct where I'm going wrong. Assume a child window is called
calendar, could I not do something like

calendar.document.backgroundColor=opener.document. backgroundColor;

I tried this and it didn't work though... any hints/direction forward
on this?

thanks!
