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

Buddha Pest

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="the1stone";
</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="the1stone" 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="JavaScript">
<!--
function closethem() {
setTimeout('self.close(); opener.close()',200);
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

<area target="the1stone" href="http://myurl.co"
shape="rect" coords="91, 108, 156, 132" onclick="javascript:closethem()">
