Confirm Function Page Navigation 2

[FrankieNASCAR]

Hi All,
I have been wrestling with this issue long enough to make me post a question. First, here's my code:

function chkreg(lesson){
// asking user if they want to register
if(confirm("You are invited to signup for the free newsletter" +
  "\n " +
   "\nClick 'OK' to register or click 'CANCEL' to return to lesson plan")){
[b]window.open("/Reg/News/Signup/NewsSignup.asp");[/b]
}else{
  if(lesson == "E"){
    window.open("page1.pdf");
	}
  else if(lesson == "M"){
    window.open("page2.pdf");
	}
  else if(lesson == "G"){
    window.open("page3.pdf");
 }
 }
}
document.close();

In the top part of the function(bold line), is there another "window.XXXXX" property I can use to navigate to another asp page within my current browser window, as well as pass a value (like a querystring?) so I'll know what page I came from? The current code opens a new browser window, which I do not want. Thanks in advance for your time and help on this.

Frankie,

Instead of window.open, use window.href or location.href; that will change the URL of the current window that you're in.

To add to Greg's post, and answer your query about passing the referring page, you could do something like this:

window.location = '/Reg/News/Signup/NewsSignup.asp?referringPage=' + escape(window.location);

Hope this helps,
Dan
