close/launch window in netscape

[Guest_imported]

Hi--im doing a site that requires a small pop-up window--
this window links to another site in a new window--I need the first window (actually the second smaller one )to close when the third window is launched--It works fine for me in ie--
but in netscape it just closes without launching the new window--
this must sound a little confusing--go look

only the upper left button ( music pro ) works--

how can I have this work in netscape--
thank you all

not a Netscape guru, but maybe the onclick is executing before the new window is created... try calling a function that does both instead jared@aauser.com

Cool-- i appreciate your help--but--Im not a programmer--i dont know js--i just copy and paste when needed--

What jaredn is saying, and I agree, is that the javascript close() is executing before the HTML link is activated. So, instead of using HTML and javascript, use only javascript and open the new window and close the current window in the same function.

When you click the link in the pop-up, you should have it go to a function which does

window.open(theURL,winName,features);
self.close()

in that order.
