reusing a window

[Bong]

I tried searching but I don't even know how to phrase the search.
I have a Web page with a button attached to a script. Basically, the script does some calculations and then opens a window sending some of the results of that calculation as data. It works fine but I'd prefer if the new page opened in the same window as I started from, as if it were the result of a link.

I'm using this:

window.open("[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost/cgi-bin/page1a.py?a="+a+"&b="+b+"&c="+c+"&d="+d);[/URL]

As I said, it works just fine but I suspect there's a different command/method I could use in place of "window.open()".

Try window.location instead.

window.location=[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost/cgi-bin/page1a.py?a="+a+"&b="+b+"&c="+c+"&d="+d;[/URL]

Phil,
Thanks, but that didn't work for me. The page, page1a.py, doesn't execute at all. At least, the display doesn't change.

missed a double quote:
