onBlur close() w/o body onblur=window.close()

DeZiner · Aug 20, 2001

How does one close the popup window when it loses focus?

If I use <body onBlur=window.close()> the window opens then closes immediately throwing an error saying the callee was cancelled and the script did not run.

Hi DeZiner,

This is just an idea, but maybe you can try the following:

add a variable: loaded = false;

Then use the following in your body tag:

Code:

<body onload=&quot;loaded=true&quot; onBlur=&quot;if (loaded) { window.close() }&quot;>

Sure hope it works

Gtz,

Kristof

DeZigner, here is how i did it:
var fClose=0

function doClose(){
if(fClose)close();
}

function _blur(){
fClose=1;
setTimeout("doClose()",100);
}
</script>

<body onblur="_blur()"> Victor

Vituz,

Thanks...it works the first time however, the 2nd time the window is opened it closes immediately, any idea how to keep it open until it blurs again?

I know I don't have to keep closing it but just want to. Thanks in advance. DeZiner
