window.open open new window?

 

when ever i use

 

 1 window.location.href=//some url 

 

it always open a new window, this only happens when the parent window is an dialog box.

what is wrong?

 

 1 window.open("http://asdf.com", "_self"); 

as suggested on this thread window.location.href opens another window but it is still not working
