PopUp window or not?

[GeeWond3r]

How wud i include a javascript routine that tells me whether this current window is a popup window or not?
Reason in doing so is I want to close and open the right windows.

Lot's of different ways:

1.You could pass a parameter in the url
var mypopup=window.open('page.asp?popup=true')
Then check for it in the popup using location.search

2.You could give your popup window a name
var mypopup=window.open('page.asp','popupName')
Then check for it using window.name

3.You could assign a value to a variable in the popup
var mypopup=window.open('page.asp','popupName')
mypopup.isPopup=true;

I'm sure there are a lot more ways.

if the window has an "opener", it is a popup.

if (window.opener != null) alert("i am a popup");
