| Post subject: | <Javascript> Close Window/Open Site in New Window |
Not sure if JavaScript belongs here or in the Java section, but I think its here  .
Does anyone know a way to close the current browser window, and open a new window with a new site? The problem is that I have a redirect url, but it adds all these annoying adds to my site, so I want the site to automatically open a new window with my real (long) site address. Thanks for any help. |

| Can this be done with anything else? I asked for JavaScript though since it's probably the simplest way...
If nobody can help then I will just change my redirect url host, still... |

Thanks! I em... forgot about Google. I thought it would be something more complicated .
Which brings me to my next question: How do I close the current window and load up a new one, in that order. Because I want the first window to go away, and a new one load up, but that can't happen if the first window is gone  . |

You can reuse the window and avoid using javascript by using the refresh meta tag. More details on that can be found here. The only way that I know of that you could use to launch a page after closing the other main one is by using a very small popup which is launched from the first page, waits a bit, then launches the second page. Javascript wasn't even based on Java, Netscape just named it that because of the polularity Java had at the time. So I remember reading anyways. |

Alright thanks, I'll look into it. The problem was that the add would appear on any page that you went to from my site. Even if it was non-related. For now the solution I found was auto scrolling down the site whenever its loaded . |
