popup window opening in referring window

[CWebster]

when the user clicks on the popup, we can ensure that the new page pops up in the referring window by using:

window.opener.location.href = "http......"

but what if the user has already closed the referring window? nothing happens when they then click on the popup.

What's the way around this?

hi CWebster,
try this:


var o = window.opener;

if (o && o.open && !o.closed)
o.location.href = "http...";
else
window.open("http...","winName","height=...,width=...&quot ======================================

if (!succeed) try();
