close parent window

Bakunin · Mar 6, 2001

Hi,
I have been trying to implement an ( apparently ) simple operation. I want to open a window from an existing parent window with a button, when the button is pressed the parent closes. I had tried to use the opener keyword, but when I tried to embed javascript in the new window, I got "unterminated string errors", or "object errors". Does anyone have some simple source to achieve this.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>

<HEAD><TITLE>New Window Test</TITLE>
<FORM>

<BODY>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
</script>";

pageContent += "</BODY><FORM></HTML>";

cardWindow = open("","cardWin","width=450,height=350,resizable=1&quot

;

with (cardWindow.document)
{
open();
write(pageContent);
close();
}

}

//-->
</SCRIPT>

<INPUT type=button value="New Window" onclick=newWin();>

</BODY></FORM></HTML>

"write(pageContent);
close();"
you are not waiting for the utton to be pressed !!!!

What?

Is the onClick event not associated with the button. Did you test this?

thanks

You may want to break this into two files as follow:

File 1:
=======


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>New Window Test</TITLE>

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>

</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="New Window" onClick="newWin()">
</FORM>

</BODY>
</HTML>


File 2:
=======


<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Close Parent Test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<script langauge="JavaScript">

</script>

<FORM>
</FORM>

</BODY>
</HTML>


You may want to change the files testOpen.html and testClose.html to what ever file name you want to call.
