Close Child window 2

[guitardave78]

Hi all.
If i open a new window like this
newWin = window.open('about:blank','Uploading','width=200,height=100');
should i not be able to close it from the parent like this

window.Uploading.close()

It is driving me mad lol

it's either:

newWin.close()

or

Uploading.close()

nah not working. There is a page refresh (it is all generated dynamically) before the close call.

that is the reason, then. the existing page loses the reference to the child window. close it before refreshing.

You can reestablish a link to the existing child window by using window.open, no url, and the same target name:

newWin = window.open('','Uploading');
newWin.close();
