Hi anyone know if its possible to determine whether a popup is already open?

Cheers
 
Yup.

Code:
var w = window.open('...', '...', '...');

if (w && !w.closed) alert("the popup is open");

Hi cLFlaVA cheers for the reply, what do I replace the ... bits with? the window name?
 
Ahh, sorry, I thought you knew that part already...

Code:
var w = window.open('thepage.html', 'my_win', '');

The third parameter is for different window properties. You can see a list of them here:
Hope this helps :)
