Re: Header() to a different browser instance

Hi, Ive been testing a bit and theres no PHP involved, its all javascript, but here goes anyway. The trick is in the self.opener which references the window that opened the popup. Lets say we have a file called one.html that opens a popup. It could look like this: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript"> function popup() { window.open( "pop.html", "", "width=100,height=100" ); } </SCRIPT> <A HREF="javascript:popup()">Click here to continue</A> The pop.html would be something like: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript"> function closeme() { self.opener.location.href="two.html"; self.close(); } </SCRIPT> <A HREF="javascript:closeme()">Close me</A> This will close itself and redirect the opener to the page two.html.
