Change parent window url 1

jockey · Aug 11, 2004

Is there a way that when a popup window is closed you can cange the url of the parent that opened it??

yes in the popup window file:
<body ...... onunload="window.opener.location.href='TheLocation'">

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Try this in your popup:

Code:

<body onunload="window.opener.location = 'newUrl.html';">

Hope this helps,
Dan
