Open page from a popup in the parent/main and close popup

[JuztinMedia]

The majority of the links on my main page open in a popup window. If a user click on a bad link, my custom 404 error page pops up. I have a link on the 404 page that will return the user to my main page, but I want the main page to open in the OTHER window (not the popup) and I want the pop up to close automatically.

Anyone know of a script like this?

Thanks! Thanks!

If i understand you correctly you will want to use this script on the 404 error page to take them back to the main page and close the popup window ::

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
<!--
function goBackToMain(){
window.opener.href = &quot;yourmainpage.html&quot;;
self.close()
}
//-->
</script>

and you can call it from your link like so ::
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;goBackToMain()&quot;>Back To Main Page</a>

I have used script like this before and it worked fine.
hope this helps you out. Megalene
