About Windows Links Examples
Links can open new pages, these can have 'names' associated with them.

- The Attributes window, when opened, has no name.
- The Alerts window will be named 'alerts' but only if the link on this page is used to open it.
Window Names

The name is set using JavaScript. Use the developer tools to find the code which sets the name.
Window Links
Links on a page can open a new window.
This might be done using the target attribute.
Links can also be implemented using JavaScript to open a window with a specific name associated with it.

Dev Tools
Use the dev tools to inspect and explore the page DOM to understand the controls.
You can also use the JavaScript console to show the current window name:
