When you open a new window with JavaScript it is not related to the

original window.

So two actions are required close the new window and replace the HTML

page in the original window. You can't target the original window from

the new window unless it is named (i.e. opened in a Frame or with

JavaScript). The original and new windows do not belong to the same

window hierarchy (framesets).
