Do you know how to do this?

Yes, and this is a client side javascript problem unless you create the popup page using a PHP script. AFAIK from your file paths, it's HTML so PHP (and indeed, DB "databases", the subject of this discussion group) don't apply here. You need to run a short snippet of javascript to determine if there's a "window.opener" object : That will point back (and have a .location.href property) of the opening page. I'd check for <script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript"> if (window.opener != null) {

//      (Probably) sent here from the online_offering_basket.html page
//      Check that though to prevent spoofing :
        if (window.opener.location.href.indexOf('online_offering_basket.html' != -1) {
                document.write('<a href="#" onclick="self.close()">Close Window</a>');
        } else {
                document.write('<a href="http://www.actsministrieschristianevangelism.org">Back To Site</a>');
        }

} else {

//      Linked directly from the how_we_operate_our_benevolent_fund.html  page
        document.write('<a href="http://www.actsministrieschristianevangelism.org">Back To Site</a>');
