Pop up query

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hello

I have a pop-up window which I am quite happy with. What I wish to do, however, is insert a text link in the pop up which allows the user to go back to the normal size home page (index.html) while closing the pop up.

How can I do this?

Best wishes

@tobakeDec 12.2002 — I´m not really sure what you need. But if you want to return to the page that opened you popup window, you can do it like this:

<i>
</i>&lt;script&gt;
function goToOpener() {
window.opener.focus();
//if you also want to close the popup
this.close();
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;a href="" onclick="goToOpener()"&gt;go to first win&lt;/a&gt;

Many thanks for your reply and help.

From the pop up, I would want to go to the main home page (index.html) and not to the page with the pop up link on it. Would I substitute your

goToOpener

for

goToMain

Many thanks for any (extra) help.

Cheers

@tobakeDec 12.2002 — ok then you can do like this:

<i>
</i>&lt;script&gt;
function goToOpener() {
window.opener.location.href="index.html";
window.opener.focus();
//if you also want to close the popup
this.close();
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;a href="" onclick="goToOpener()"&gt;go to first win&lt;/a&gt;


what you name your function does not matter.
