Cascading javascript parents/popups?

[Buffcode18]

Hi,

Here's my situation. I have a web page which opens up a flash audio player in a popup using window.open. From the audio player, I have a button which opens another popup. What I want to do is put a link in this popup to close it and load another page back in the original web page.

Obviously if I target the parent from this popup, it targets the second popup with the audio player in it. Is there any way to target the original window?

Thanks!

window.opener.opener.xxx

Hope this helps,
Dan

I guess the next step is, what if the original window has been closed? I came up with this-

function Redirect(url){
if (window.opener.opener.closed) {
window.open.location = url;
} else {
window.opener.opener.location = url;
}
self.close();
}

But if I close the top parent, nothing happens?

Perhaps a typo: "window.open.location"?

Replaced that with window.open, is that right? Still nothing happening

Did you try "window.opener.location" instead?
