    I open a small popup window with some javascript. On the small popup window I have a couple of link and I want that those link will open a new page on the parent window (the window with the javascript). How can I do that? TARGET=.. need a window name, but I don't know how to assign a name to the first window.

    Thanks

    no. Target="_blank" opens a new window.
    I need it on the old one.
    Thanks for the effort :)

    Nope. None of them will do the trick. They both open a new window/tab.

    Maybe the problem lies in the fact that I opened this window with javascript

    unfortunately _parent doesn't work. As I said before, I think the problem is that I opened the popup with javascript's window.open()
    :(

    to refer to the parent window you can use.

    window.opener

    and to change the page on the parent you can do

    window.opener.location.href='newpage.htm'

    hope this helps,
    bye
