XML

This is my button
<a id="OpenWinYahoo" title="login with yahoo">
                        @*href="/InviteFriends/YahooContact">*@
                        <img src="../../Content/images/yahoo_invite.jpg" class="inviteimg" /></a>

This is my window opener

C#

$('#OpenWinYahoo').live('click', function () {
      window.open("/InviteFriends/YahooContact", "MyWindow", 'left=350,top=250,menubar=0,resizable=0,location=1,toolbar=0,status=1,scrollbars=1,width=600,height=455')
  });

I am assuming that you have control over the InviteFriends/YahooContact page if not then this fix will not work. If you don't have control over the page I would suggest looking into if Yahoo offers an API so you can control the window and just call their service. There may be a better way to do this. This is just the method that I use.

In the InviteFriends/YahooContact page put this script. Call it from your login button.

HTML

<script type="text/javascript">
     function Login() { 
          //Put logic to log into Yahoo here.
          if('loggedinSuccess' == true) { 
               window.parent.location = 'Put the redirect URL here';     
               window.close;
          }
     }
</script>
