Popup windows help

[timmah1]

Hello,

 

I'm using a popup window to show little details about a person. Within that popup is a link to either close the window, or view the whole profile.

What I want to do, and can't figure out, is when someone clicks on the link to view the whole profile, I want the popup to close and the profile to open in the main window.

 

How do I do that?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

This sounds more like a javascript feature than something in php.  Try doing a little research on google about javascript and/or opening/closing other windows.

this is a JS question, but this should do the trick:

 

code for child:

 

<a href="javascript:window.close();">Close</a>
<a href="javascript:window.parent.location='/url/to/profile.html';window.close();">View Whole Profile</a>
