How to Open a link on a parent window?

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

 

I think that is _blank.

 

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

 

Huh try _top and none.

 

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

 

target="_parent"

 

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

 

hmm maybe.

Unless theres a way to name the window you open in javascript then I have no idea.

 

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

 

Thanks, that's what I needed!
