need some help on browser targeting

[greg]

Ok, once my index/home page loads, there is a java script that calls for a
pop up window with my latest "web specials". It is set to only load once
per visit so it dosen't get to annoying. My question is, In the pop up I
have a link that says, click here to find out more. When they click that I
want that window to close and the window behind it, the original home/index
page to load the new "web specials page". How would I accomplish this? I've
done a few searches, and I don't think it has to do with "parent, self, top,
or blank". Thanks to anyone that can help.

Do a google for "javascript window opener", or get the JS docs. from
Netscape and look it up in there. It's reasonably easy to do.

Be sure to stay updated on the latest facts, examples, opinions and

with my latest "web specials". It is set to only load once

Avoiding using popup windows--for reasons that become evident in the
referenced thread--would eliminate that problem. Is there not enough
canvas space on your homepage to implement the 'web specials'? Browser
canvas is not limited by budget, like paper-size is in the print
industry. One can easily come to the conclusion that the design of the
homepage was not sufficiently thought out to offer room for extensions;
of course I am not saying that is so, but it should make you ponder.

Your popup will not appear in my browser, since I instructed it to
eliminate all unrequested popup windows. I didn't have to do much for
that, it is built-in in Safari.

I am not an expert on JavaScript syntax, but self.opener comes to mind.
Maybe a Google search for this will clarify.
