Main > Popup > Popup > Close popup AND new URL in main?

[Jens Peter Hansen]

Hi
From my main window I open a series of popup (one close - next opens)
in a mockup for a registration proces.

From the last popup, I want to click a buttom, so the popup closes and
the URL in the original main window changes and the window get focus.

Uses
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
name = 'mainwindow';
//--></script>

to target the main window - but I havn't succeeded in closing the
popup.

Any suggestions?

Yes - with self.close() I can close the popup - but I can't figure out
how to change the content in the main window at the same time.

Please have a look at a small example I have placed at
http://www.purhusnet.dk/popupsequence/ - in this example I do change
content in main window, but the popup retains focus.

When I go through it now, in Mozilla, I get two windows at the end,
instead of one......

Correct - lucky me, I'm only producing a mockup so for a start it is OK
that it's only working in IE. Smarter people than me must solve the
Mozilla/Netscape issue later :-)

The reason it works in IE and not Mozilla is because IE lets you name an
already open window on the fly, Mozilla doesn't.
