Child windows mark2

siuk · Jan 4, 2002

Hi sorry if there was some confusion on the last post.

But all I want to be able to do is close a child window.

If I open a window called 'mywin'. How can I then close this window?
-----------------------------------------------------------
var mywin = window.open('

http://www.google.com','mywin','height=50,width=50,scrollbars=no,toolbar=0,titlebar=0');

-----------------------------------------------------------
This will open the window correctly.
-----------------------------------------------------------

<a href="javascript:mywin.close();">close child window</a>

However the code above wont close my window

can anyone help me?

If anyone knows it would also be helpful to know how to load child window functions from the parent window.

Many Thanks

maybe you can use this!
This was originally a german script.
I translated it into English, I hope I haven't forgotten anything.
mfg borkert
<html>
<head>

</head>

<body>
<b>open and close window</b>
<p>
<body onload="demo()" onunload="zu()" >

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

win = null;
function demo()
{
win = window.open("popup.php","demo","toolbar=no,menubar=no,top=0,left=0,width=300,height=300&quot

win.focus();
}
function zu()
{
if (win != null)
if (!win.closed)
win.close();
}
//-->
</script>

<a href="#" onclick="demo()">open window</a> <a href="#" onclick="zu()">close window</a>
<p>

</SCRIPT>

yea, just like borkert wrote, this variable have to be global (it have to be defined outside of a function)

>>If anyone knows it would also be helpful to know how to load child window functions from the parent window

just the same:

mywin.functionname();

(if this mywin is global) Victor
