You could resort to a full javascript option.

 onclick="function(faq);"

with a function
	blahblah.location(faq.htm);
	self.close();

it will then do things in the right order.

Onderwerp: Netscape problem with popup navigation


Hi all,

My client has a framed site in which a "Help" button launches a popup
window. This small window asks the user what type of help they're looking
for (FAQ, glossary, password assistance, etc). Upon choosing an item from
that list, the popup window closes and the selected document loads in the
main content frame ("main") of the original window. The tag looks like this:

<A HREF="FAQ.htm" Target="main" ONCLICK="window.close();">FAQ</A>

It works fine in MSIE and Netscape 4.75 on a mac and MSIE on a windows pc.
However, it does _not_ work in Netscape 6 on a mac or Netscape 4/6 on a
windows pc.

What happens in the problem cases is that the popup window closes...that's
it. Nothing loads in the "main" frame. This seems like a pretty simple thing
we're trying to do. Any ideas as to why it doesn't work with certain
versions of Netscape?

Thanks,
Dane
