link in a pop up allowing to display a page in a frame

[baltimore]

Hi,

I look for a script allowing to display a page in a frame as from a
link in a pop up (and close it in the same time
The name of my frame is "body"
In the pop up i try this function in the head section :

function reroutage() {
parent.frames["body"].window.location="assistance.htm";
window.close();
}

but it does not works, why ?

Thanks a lot

Although also called "child window", the popup window is not part of the
frame hierarchy of the "parent window" but part of an own frame hierarchy.
Thus use `opener' or `opener.parent' instead of `parent'. You may also
have to call `window.close()' with setTimeout(...).
