Forum Moderators: open
in one page (index.php) I use this sentence to set the name of the window:
<body onload='self.name="indexpage"'>
In this page there is a <img> tag containing this:
onclick='window.open("galleryselect.php","galleryselect","lots_of_size_description")'
The galleryselect.php script generates HTML links that refer back to the first window:
<a href='index.php?M=24'
target='indexpage'
onclick='self.close()'>
April-2003</a>
Now, this works fine in IE, but not in FireFox. FF will open the window containing galleryselect.php, but clicking the <a href...> will not update the indexpage window.
I just can't figure out what I do wrong. Any suggestions?
Best,

<a href='index.php?M=24' onClick="window.opener.parent.location='index.php?M=24';window.close();return false">
I'm not sure why FF doesn't acknowledge the "name" assignment for self in your approach.
It solved my problem. :)
I also tested window.opener.document.... and that worked too, in both browsers.
Happy day!
