Manipulating parent window

[ClaireB]

Hi everyone,
I've opened a new window using:
window.open('Opening.asp', 'MainWindow', 'height=800,width=1270,top=0,left=0,scrollbars=yes ,menubar,toolbar,location,status,resizable', false);


When certain links are clicked in this new window, I would like it to close. I assume this would be as simple as:
window.close();


but I would also like to change the url of the original window depending on the chosen link in the new window. Is this possible? And if so how?

Many thanks in advance

i think its

Code: Select all

<a href="#" onclick="opener.window.location='page.htm'; self.close();">link</a>
