Open and Close

Hello all. Looking to do something pretty simple, but not
finding a
great solution. I have a form that runs a javascript check
when
posted. What I need is for a pop up window to open when the
form is
submitted. Then, after the form is processed on that page
and the page
is redirected (I do this in .asp) the page that the user has
been
redirected to closes the pop up opened on the previous page.
Any
ideas? Thanks.

Hi.

I think this is rather impossible. You can control the
opened window
only from itself, or from its opener (the page that opened
it). The
other pages do not have access to the popup window.

You'll need to use the window.open method to reestablish a
reference
to the popup. You'll need to use the same window name that
you used
when you opened the popup originally.

function close_popup(){
  page = 'blank.htm';
  popup = window.open(page,'originalPopupWindowName');
  popup.close();
}

On my first page I have:

function openDep() {
  win = window.open("../../welcome.html",
"win",
"height=200,width=400");
}

This is fired when my form check script completes and opens
a window
just fine. I have a .asp script that executes and then
redirects the
user to another page. This page has:

function close_popup(){
  page = '../../welcome.html';
  popup = window.open(page,'win');
  popup.close();

This currently fired in the "onload" of the body,
but it does not
close the window as desired. Have I done something wrong?
Thanks for
all the help.

Thanks for the help all. I found a different solution by
calling the
body onUnload. Works great.

I suggest not doing so. Instead, you can show a "div
modal dialog" in
the page, and it will makes user feel more comfortable.

I don't think this is true ...

As long as the window is named ... E.g.  window.open(
'popup.asp',
'namedwindow', ... );

)Ou should be able to ref that named window in any open web
page.

E.g. ... From a new window ...

If ( namedwindow )
{
     namedwindow.location = 'home.asp';
}

Does this make sense?
