Pop-up Window with Links to New Pages

Question:
I want to set up a series of links in a pop-up window which, when clicked, will (a) close the popup window and (b) redirect the main page to the URL of the link. How do I do this? I know how to set up the pop-up and the close, but not the redirect of the main page to the link.

Answer:
Assuming that the main page is the one that opened the pop-up, the following code should work:

opener.document.location = newURL

where newURL is the URL of the location that you want the main page to load.
