Can someone show me how, I can update a parent window to goto a new location after close has ben clicked?

function MenuIT()
{
var response = confirm("Do You Want to Close this Page?");
if ( response == false)
{
alert('Cancelled.');
}
else
{
top.window.close()
}
}

like that should do it

function MenuIT()
{
var response = confirm("Do You Want to Close this Page?");
if ( response == false)
{
alert('Cancelled.');
}
else
{
parent.location.href="B]URL[/B] ";
top.window.close()
}
}

Or something like this:
function MenuIT()
{
if (confirm("Do You Want to Close this Page?"))
{
opener.location="somepage.html"
window.close()
}
else
{
alert("Cancelled!")
}
}

Thanks, for both of these guys.

Let me explain just we bit more, I'm using one of the "Chromeless Windows" that pops up (very smart bit of script) but the problem is that it leaves behind, once it has opened, a main browser window where it loads from. ( please see this JS code)

What I want is this main parent window, either to shut or to goto a new URL by using a close button within the Chromeless Window.

Can you help further?
