javascript popup window help

Question

This is what I want to accomplish..I created a pop up window from my original document. this is the code..

<script type="text/javascript">
 function subscribe() {
 window.open("cover.htm", "popWin", "width=125, height=240, left=10, screenX=10, top=10, screenY=10");
 }
 </script>

I called the function when the window loads. Now in the the pop up I want to click on a link that will open another htm file in the original window. I know i have to use the opener keyword but don't know how to go about doing this.

any suggestion will be greatly appreciated..

You can set a function on the parent page to change the location, then use the window.opener to access it.

Parent Page

function changeParentURL(url) {
 document.location=url;
}

Child Page

window.opener.changeParentURL('http://new.htm');
