Javascript popup

[Anon]

I am opening a javascript popup in a php script.

I want the user to be able to click a button and the popup close, returning focus to the opener and then redirect to another php page.

I know how to close the popup and do the redirection separately but not together from one click.

Thanks

It's pretty hard to figure out what you are trying to do from your post. I don't understand what you mean by a javascript popup in a php script, the php is running on the server, the popup would be on the browser.

Thanks for prompt reply.
When I say javascript popup I am echoing these commands to the browser.
See below an extract of my code:

<?

// display the product information from the selected item
echo"<div align=\"center\">";

.........
.........
THIS IS THE BUTTON I WANT TO BASICALLY CLOSE THE CURRENT WINDOW (POPUP) AND THEN GO TO BACK TO THE PARENT WINDOW
.........
echo"<p><TD><input type=\"button\" value=\"ADD TO TROLLEY\"onClick=\"window.close(),window.location='addToTrolley.php?upc_buy=$prod_code';return false\">";

......
......

If you want to see what I am trying to do go to:

http://jawa.doc.ntu.ac.uk/inetprog/Sites/CC005160/assignment/home.php

and click the INFO button
it's the "ADD TO TROLLEY BUTTON" in the popup that should close the POPUP nad then redirect to the trolley page

Thanks again!

the problem is that you're trying to redirect the window you're closing, try this instead:

echo "<p><TD><input type=\"button\" value=\"ADD TO TROLLEY\"onClick=\"window.opener.location='addToTrolley.php?upc_buy=$prod_code'; window.close(); return true\">";

use window.opener to refer to the parent window...
