          Disregard my last post.

          var myWindowHandle = window.open('my URL','myWindowN ame');

          myWindowHandle. focus();
          myWindowHandle. close();

          The myWindowName can be used with targets:

          <a href="somewhere .html" target="myWindo wName">Somewher e</a>
