I have a problem with navigating back to my home page from other open windows. A link on the home page opens a new window for a training site (using the "_blank" option). On each footer of the training site pages is a link back to the home page. Instead of going back to the home page a NEW home page opens. I have tried using "_top" and "_parent" on the footer link to get back to the original home page but have had no success.

page navigation issue

Instead of linking back to the home page, if I understand you correctly it is already open. All you need to do is include code to "close" the new page.
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE='BUTTON' VALUE='Close Window' onClick='window.close()'>
</FORM>
When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.

If you use the following code to close the window you won't be presented with the annoying dialogue box.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function bye() {
self.opener = this;
self.close()
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="JavaScript: bye()">close window</a>
</body>
</html>Glen
