[thelist] NN: funny window.open self.close behavior

[Matthew Fischer]

Try:

<a href="javascript:opener.location.href='http://www.ridingzone.com/rz2/site2f/commerce/';self.close()">

Works for me, even in NN4, NN3 and IE4 and IE5.

If you use onClick, the event doesn't wait for the link to process. The way it is above, the location change happens before the self.close().
