Popup links to Parent Window – backup?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 24.2013

One of my clients has requested the following…
– Click a link to open a popup window
– Click links in the popup window to change content in parent window

I have this working well at the following test URL – [url]http://pixgroup.com/popup/[/url] (click the links and you’ll see that they load in the parent window).

The problem is that if someone closes the parent window, the links in the popup window no longer work. Is there a way I can code this so the links open in the parent window… but open in a new window if the visitor has closed the parent window?

Here is the key code snippet…

[code]<a href=”javascript:void(0);” onClick=”window.opener.location.href=’http://www.yahoo.com’;”>YAHOO[/code]
