Q577 If I open a window and I give it a name, can I perform operations based on the name?

No. You have to use the window handle:
<form>
<input type="button" onClick="windowHandle = window.open('test.htm','windowName')" value="Open">
<input type="button" onClick="window['windowHandle'].close()" value="Close">
</form> |
Or:
<form>
<input type="button" onClick="windowHandle = window.open('test.htm','windowName')" value="Open">
<input type="button" onClick="windowHandle.close()" value="Close">
</FORM> |
