The image basicly explains what i am going for.

To have a link in the popup window close the popup and open the link in the prevous window that the popup came from.:eek:

Perhaps this thread would best be answered in the Javascript forum?

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onmousedown = function()
{
if(opener)
{
opener.location = 'page2.html';
window.close();
}
}
</script>
That would go in the popup page in between the head tags. The script will only work only if the page was opened as a popup. If you don't check for opener and try calling it, you will get an error.
