I'm using the following code to open a new window. What can I add to automatically close the parent window when the new one opens?

<body
onfiltered="window.open('http://www.test.com/', 'mywindow', 'width=screen.width, height=screen.height, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes')">
</body>

</body>

Argghh! Leave my browser alone. If I visited a site that closed my browser, I wouldn't visit it again unless it had "heroin content"*.

* content I just have to have no matter what.

It's pretty close to heroin content, maybe caffeine content? :)

OK, you're right. I shouldn't close their window. So how do I automatically redirect it to another page then?

// Javascript:
location = "some_page.html";
// or:
window.replace("http://www.site.com/some_page.html");

// PHP (must appear before any output to browser):
header("Location: http://www.site.com/some_page.html");

(Caveat: my JavaScript is a bit rusty.)
