I am opening a window from two different pages. How can i know which page opened this window. Due to some technical issues i cannot use querystring,session,cache,application variable. Is there any other way pls suggest.

Check the referrer.

I check referer . For window.open it is null. for "href" it shows some value.

I see. Then you can use window.opener to access the parent window.

You can't do that. If there is nothing in referrer, then there is nothing that is sent to the server that reveals from where the window was opened. The concept of the browser having separate windows only exists in the browser. What is sent to the server is just a request for a page, there is no information that tells where (or even if) the page will be displayed.
