Hi there,

i guess this is what you want (old popup is closed from parent-side
if new popup is desired):

Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">

      var currentPopup = null;
      function popitup(url)
      {

          if (currentPopup && currentPopup.open && !currentPopup.closed) {
              currentPopup.close();
          }

          currentPopup = window.open(url, 'name', 'height=200,width=150');

          if (window.focus)
          {
              currentPopup.focus()
          }
      return false; }

  </script>

Html:

 <a href="#" onclick="return popitup('test.htm')">Link1</a>
<a href="#" onclick="return popitup('test.htm')">Link2</a>
