I need to open a pop-up window from the main window.

From one of the options, I need to close the window (that I got !) and load another page into the main window.

HELP!

try
window.referrer.location="http://whatever.com";

Make sure you do it before you close the window...

Here you go. The trick is to keep things working when JavaScript isn't present.

test.html

<p><a href="test2.html" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">Click Me</a></p>
