Close pop-up then go to a URL in the parent

I've opened a popup with:

window.open(url, 'mySurvey', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,dependent,width=1000, height=800,left=50,top=50');

When that window is open the user can click a link that will close the window, then redirect to a page in the parent window.

I'm familiar with window.close() and that works OK. I'm unsure how to get a redirect action in the parent window with the same click action.

You can access the window that opened the popup using window.opener or window.parent. You can use that in your click event before closing the popup:

function myClickEvent(){
    window.opener.location.href = "the_new_url.htm";
    //or window.parent.location.href = "the_new_url.htm";
    window.close();
}
