I can open a new window, but how do i target back the old winow?
Hi
I want to know how I can target the old window and change its url. For ex., I have two windows; one is the main window, the other is a confirmation like window. When a user confirms, the url on the main window would change to another page. How would I go to accomplish this? Thanks

RE: I can open a new window, but how do i target back the old winow?
In javascript you can reference the main window by the opener property. eg:
<a href="#" onclick="opener.location.href='otherurl.html';window.close( );">confirm</a> else if the main window is a frame with the name property set, or has it's name property set through javascript, you can simply specify it with the target property. eg mainwindow has this in it's <head> section: <script type="text/javascript"> window.name = 'main'; </script> now you can do this in your popup: <a href="otherurl.html" target="main">confirm</a>

Thanks, but where does this go
<a href="#" onclick="opener.location.href='otherurl.html';window.close( );">confirm</a>? in the main window? And why is there a window.close()? how would i specify the confirm window dimensions?

It goes in your popup window. I put in the window.close() in case you wanted to close the popup. If not, you can discard it.
To open a popup with dimensions and such you will also need javascript. Try searching on window.open and I'm sure you'll find a bunch of examples
