Parent Problem 1

[fischadler]

Hi,
I am using the code below to open a pop up window. The pop up window has a link which, if clicked, should update the page in the parent window that originally called the pop up.

<script>
<!-- Hide from old browsers
function winopen(PageURL){
  window.open(PageURL, 'NewWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=yes,width=750,height=400,left=0,top=0')
}
// -->
</script>

I tried using <a target="_parent"> but the new page loads in the pop up.

Is there some other way to do it?

Thanks


P.S. Excuse the pun in the subject!

If you want to refresh the parent page, you can use something like this:

<a href="javascript:window.opener.location.reload(true);">

Although be aware that once the opening window has refreshed, you may find that the "opener" handle is no longer valid, so the code may only work once.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Ok, sorry, I think I did not use the right words. I need to load another page in the original window, not refresh the page.

With Dan's help I found a solution:

<a href="javascript:window.opener.location='[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yahoo.com';[/URL] self.close();">

Thanks Dan! A star goes to you.
