loading previous windows from a pop-up

Hi All…

Scenario:
I have a page that has links. One of the links opens a pop-up which is an index of other pages. When a link is clicked in the pop-up I wish to load the corresponding new page back in the original full browser window rather than open a new one.

Question:
What script syntax would reference the original window to load the new page… something like [COLOR=blue]parent.document.write(‘nextPage.html’,’’);[/COLOR] which I’ve found doesn’t work

@pyroOct 15.2003 — You'd use something like this:

window.opener.location.href = "foo.htm";

Success!
