Hello,

I am trying to make a pop-up window after a person clicks on the "submit" button on a form I created. I want to make my pop-up have 2 options, with one button taking them back to a new form to enter another request and the other button to return them to the homepage. I figured out how to create these buttons, but it opens up a new window. I am trying to use the pop-up window as an option window and once they choose the button. I want the page to be displayed on the original window and have the pop-up window disappear. I keep having a new window opening. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

window.open opens a new window, window.location opens in the same window.

Take a look at the attached file to see if we are on the right track.

When you download the file save it as a .htm file
