I'm trying implement a script that will automatically launch a new, small window. Within the new window there will be a link that, when clicked needs to shut the popup (itself) and open the link in the original window.

Here's what I have (which only works in IE)

Orginal page (main window) in the head tags:

<script>

function openpopup(){
var popurl="popup_WebPromo.html"
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=500,height=500,resizable,")
}

openpopup()

self.name = "Parent_Window";

</script>

-----------------------------------

And here's what I have in popup in the head tags:

<base target="Parent_Window">

And here is the href for the link:

<A HREF="demos.html" ONCLICK="javascript:window.close();">Download a Demo Version Now!</A>

You dont need to use the 'javascript:' prefix in an event. Try this:
<A HREF="javascript:window.opener.location='demos.html';window.close()">Download a Demo Version Now!</A>
