Closing the popup window

[noyes99]

Hi everyone,

I have created a popup that has an image map in it, and I need to close that popup when someone clicks on a link, and redirect the parent window to the link. I have written some code that works fine on IE, but doesn't work on Netscape and Mac. Could someone help me debugging it?

Thanks

Here's the code
:
#####################################
to open the window
#####################################

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function popSize(winURL,winName) {

// assign values to window height, width, and coordinate vars
var popWidth =435;
var popHeight = 255; // default for users with smaller screens



var popLeft = (screen.availWidth / 2) - (popWidth / 2);
var popTop = (screen.availHeight / 2) - (popHeight / 2);

// assemble list of window features
var winFeat = &quot;directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,personalbar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,toolbar=no,&quot;;
winFeat += &quot;width=&quot; + popWidth + &quot;,&quot;;
winFeat += &quot;height=&quot; + popHeight + &quot;,&quot;;
winFeat += &quot;left=&quot; + popLeft + &quot;,&quot;;
winFeat += &quot;top=&quot; + popTop;

// open the new window
window.open(winURL,winName,winFeat);
}
</script>


<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
popSize('/popup_8/1,2836,,00.html','POP');
</script>


###########################
to close the window :
############################
<area shape=&quot;rect&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; coords=&quot;15,12,130,162&quot; href=&quot;javascript:window.opener.location('/popup_redirect?navsource=issue');self.close();&quot;>


##################################


as i said, this works fine on IE, but doesn't work on Netscape or MAC

Change:

href=&quot;javascript:window.opener.location('/popup_redirect?navsource=issue');self.close();&quot;>

To:

href=&quot;javascript:window.opener.location='

;self.close();&quot;>

* Get rid of the () and use the equal sign, url must be a qualified path.

thank you. it worked. I did not have to remove the '=' sign though.
