The question is quite vague, in my opinion. I'm not even sure what SendMessage() is. ;-) Is it a built in function? Something you wrote? Maybe explain more about what you're hoping to acplish because there might also be a better alternative. – senfo Commented Aug 28, 2012 at 12:10

namevariable of a previous call towindow.open(name, url [, ...])? – line-o Commented Aug 28, 2012 at 12:22 -

(url, name [, ...]):P – jbabey Commented Aug 28, 2012 at 12:36 - SendMessage() is not a built in function but a user defined method to send msgs using websocket. – sasi krishna Commented Aug 28, 2012 at 12:39

Reset to default 5to just answer your question, it is the name property the window object.
window.name
Ex:
var myWindow = window.open('','someName','width=200,height=100');
myWindow.document.write("<p>This window's name is: " + myWindow.name + "</p>");
You can provide your name to the window like this
window.open(URL,name,specs,replace);
myWindow=window.open('','MsgWindow','width=200,height=100');
myWindow.document.write("This window's name is: " + myWindow.name );
Cheers
