this article isn't exactly correct. you state that it's impossible to access a named window, but that is incorrect.

what you'll have to do is to get a handle to the window first though, and that is simply done by

myWindowHandle = window.open('', 'window_name');

from there you can control the window as you see fit. of course, you'll have problems if the window wasn't really opened, but that's a whole 'nother discussion.
