[Javascript] opener object

[Rodney Myers]

Try this:

onclick="goPage('new_wd.htm')"

and
 function goPage(src)     ( in the popup code script tag)
{
if(self.opener)
    {
   self.opener.focus();   self.opener.location.href = src;
   self.close();
  }
}

If the page is tested in the browser without having been popped open
then the window (self) will not have an opener property.
