Hi guys,

 

This is probably really simple but I am not sure how it is done.

 

Basically, I have a page (page 1) that has a standard text link that when the user clicks the link opens this in a new pop-up window (page 2) - in the new window when the user clicks a link it should close the pop-up and load this new URL in initial page (page 1).

 

So in simple terms, page 1 is always there, while page 2 closes itself when a link from within page 2 is clicked..

 

Any ideas or code on how I can achieve this?

 

Thanks in advance
