I am using this code in a pop up, so it opens goto.html in the parent window

```auto
<a href="goto.html" onclick="javascript:window.close(''); opener.top.open("#");" >click</a>

```

but window.close() is not working.  
what can i do to close the pop window and open the page at the same time

Pls help
