Please HELP!!!

Can a link in a pop up window close the current window and redirect the original window to a new site. I can get the link to redirect the original window but the window.close() function is not closing the pop up window. Any suggestions???

No problem... Just make sure it redirects the parent before it closes itself:
opener.location.href=
and then:
self.close()
You can use a function or put both directly into an onclick event, just separate them with a ;

For a good example of the above code, signup for a Lycos community site. Then go login. The login is in a popup. After you select ok, the popup closes and redirects the other page to the login form.
