hello

i need a popup window to appear to the user but without parent widow !

but this is impossible

so i think that I may have to make the popup close the parent apter it appear, but how ?

i tried this in the popup:

<BODY align="center" valign="center" onload="javascript:window.opener='x';window.close();">

but it closed the popup window itself !

any idea to make the popup close its parent ?
