Q863 How can I close the current window when opening a new popup window from a text link?

Try:

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('http://www.irt.org','main','width=640,height=480');setTimeout('window.close()',1000)">irt.org</a>

This should give the new window just enough time to be created before closing the old one.
