netscape link problem

[Marco]

I made an html-page with this line in it:

<A HREF="http://www.bla.com" onClick="javasc ript:window.clo se()"
target="moeder" >link</A>

It works very well in Internet Explorer, but in Netscape 7 the url isn't
opened in the moeder window. How come and how can I fix it so it works in
Netscape too? Thanks in advance for any answers.

<a href="http://www.bla.com"
target="moeder"
onclick="window .open(this.href , this.target);wi ndow.close();re turn
false;">link</a>

Note that if the window you are trying to close wasn't opened by script,
Netscape will fail with an error in the JavaScript Console of: "Scripts may
not close windows that were not opened by script."

Thanks for the reply, but moeder already exists and this opens a new window.
I want to open the url in the existing moeder window.

Yeah, I know. Unfortunately I am not the one who decides how the window is
opened. Different project. Can't have it all. :)

When window.open() is called a second time with the same window name (second
parameter), it loads the content into the same window instance.

Ignoring the window.close() for a second, please try the following code:

<a href="http://www.bla.com"
target="moeder"
onclick="window .open(this.href , this.target);re turn false;">link 1</a>
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com"
target="moeder"
onclick="window .open(this.href , this.target);re turn false;">link 2</a>

Tested in IE6SP1, Netscape 4.78, Mozilla 1.5a and Opera 7.11. In all browsers,
no matter how many times I clicked the links in sequence or one after another, I
only ever had one new window opened. This is the way window.open() is supposed
to work.
