3 open windows - close 2 and change URL of 1st

The 1st window opens the 2nd window. The 2nd window opens the 3rd window.
From the 3rd window, how do I close the 3rd and 2nd windows then change the
URL of the 1st window? Thanks.

I came up with this but still have problems. Please read below.

I am opening 3 windows. I name the 1st one "the1stone" with the script
below. This code is in the 1st window.

<script>
window.name="th e1stone";
</script>

I open the 2nd window from the 1st window. Then I open a 3rd window from the
2nd window.

I then close the 3rd and 2nd windows and change the URL on the first window
with the code below. This code is in the 3rd window. It works fine in IE6.
Firefox and Netscape 8 closes the 3rd and 2nd windows but will not change
the URL in the 1st and remaining window. What can I do? Thanks.

<area target="the1sto ne" href="http://www.myurl.com" shape="rect"
coords="91, 108, 156, 132"
onclick="window .close(); opener.close()" >

I was able to solve my problem with a timer (see below). This works in
Netscape 8, Firefox and IE6 as well.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">
<!--
function closethem() {
setTimeout('sel f.close(); opener.close()' ,200);
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

<area target="the1sto ne" href="http://myurl.co"
shape="rect" coords="91, 108, 156, 132" onclick="javasc ript:closethem( )">

Hi, client wants for a window with no toolbars to open (technical and 'esthetical' reasons) after the window, user clicks on, is being closed. I told them about security settings in browsers and no cross-browsers solutions and all of that we know, but they have told me they have seen that before and how then the annoying pop-up windows work? . . .

Hello, I have an application that has been running for years and had little problem with it. We've been retesting the latest code under Windows 2003 and found a surprise. There is a certain case where we allow the MDI app to close the database and the user can later request the open dialog. This normally calls the CDatabase open with the flags that allow the ODBC Open Dialog

Up until a few weeks ago, javascript code like window.open("http://mydomain.com", "windowName"); would always bring my new or reused window to the top, with focus. Lately, Firefox (Deer park alpha 2) only brings it to the top if the window is new. If it's being reused, the window does not come to the foreground (with IE 6 it does). Is there a new way in Mozilla/Firefox that I can ensure that this

I have a MDI form, sometimes child forms and sometimes forms that are neither If I close the app the child forms closing and closed event happens followed by the Mdi form receiving the events.. But the regular forms that are also open do not receive that event. This is true whether there are child forms open or not.

Hi, Both way works, I'd just ask some experts which way is better? My application creates a log file daily. Now each time when I write a log, I will open the file and append to the end. Ocz, if the file is not exist(e.g. another day), it will creates the file first.

After considerable googling - I mean searching with Google(r) - I could not find javascript on a button or <a href=... to close a window in the latest versions of IE and FireFox. There seemed to be two techniques for earlier versions. But the window.opener='' ;window.close(); and the window.open('','_parent','') ;window.close(); techniques do not work for me. I.e., I still get confirmation message

Does anyone know how to open a window and have it close by itself? You may ask why, but here it is. I want to have it open (a php script), run that script, and then close itself.

The software I am using for that is htmlMimeMail5 (php5). Since I...

This is a new problem for me: I have some queries that open very slowly in design view. My benchmark query takes about 20 minutes to open in design view. That same query takes about 20 minutes to open in datasheet view. As an experiment, I deleted all rows in all tables; after that, the query took only seconds to open in both design view and datasheet view. From these facts, I conclude that Access is evaluating the query when I go to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
