function remoteStart() {
    remote = window.open('', 'TheRemote', 'width=250,height=425,resizable=1');
    if (remote != null) {
    if (remote.opener == null) {
        remote.opener = self;
        }
    remote.location.href = 'http://www.yourdomain/remote.html';
    }
}
Then put this in remote: 
        function fetch(url) {
        opener.location = url;
        }
Use this for links: 
        <A HREF = "JavaScript:fetch('URL_here')">Link</A>
To create status bar messages through a remote: 
function message(txt){
opener.status = txt;
setTimeout("remove()",2500);
}
function remove(){
opener.status="";
}
Then add this in the HREF tag: 
        onMouseOver = "message('Message Here');return true;">
