Re: [Htmlunit-user] default WebWindow

[Brad C. <bc...@bo...>]

We ended up just keeping our own Map of the WebWindows we knew about so 
whatever happens to the real names of the windows will be transparent to 
us. Any new TopLevelWindow we create would also have no name. This should 
more closely resemble the real world situation you observed in Mozilla and  IE.
