rarrarar, if you must..... You can write javascript to check the name of a window. You should have a javascript in your application that checks for another window with the same name. If it does find one with the same name, it should close ITSELF, and it should only run once. So lets say I am on that page right now, and I open a new window. That window will close itself immediately because it sees another window with the same name!
I havent messed with window manipulation for a while, so check out www.yahoo.com and do a search for "Javascript Window Manipulate". Man, the number of people who will run into that problem of thinking more changes have been made will probably be .0008 hehe. I don't sugest you go with this route, because there are tech savvy people who like to use 2 windows at once within the same application. For example, I was working on an app that has a list of email addresses, and a form for sending email. I wanted to send mail to a couple of those email addresses, so I opened one window that had the list of the addresses, and another window where I navigated to the email form section. And just did copy and paste. It beats having to click back and forth! -----Original Message----- From: Kris Pilles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 11:13 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Session question Ok.... Heres a better example.... We are rebuilding our accounting system with CF/Oracle... Now if this same issue occurs and lets say 2 sets of changes are made in each window... The user thinks 4 changes have been made but actually only 2 will be saved.... I guess if I open up the accounting system app in a modul I can avoid this.... Well I guesss your right....... Thanks for talkjing som logic into me -----Original Message----- From: Phoeun Pha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 12:08 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Session question Well, if this is any assurance... You're the only person ever to have come across a problem with this non problem. COmmon people have been online shopping since forever and no one's really complained about this sort of problem. also, anyone so computer illiterate will probably not mess around with the menu commands. Look at the reason you gave me. It's like saying "We need to build an applet on our website that will prevent people of little computer knowledge from getting confused. These people keeping going to the start menu and choosing "shutdown" for some reason and turning off their monitors and they're blind. Bottom line, you can't make anything idiot proof! This is like one of those things you're not supposed to be worried about. -----Original Message----- From: Kris Pilles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 11:00 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Session question LOL... Well the problem it may cause is that a not so computer literate wants t sign up for a class opens 2 windows and gets confused and gives up on our site.. Lol that's a reach -----Original Message----- From: Phoeun Pha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 11:55 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Session question ermm you don't can't fix it lol. It's kinda like saying, "Boss, there's a bug in this array. Everytime I delete an element in the array, the array elements realign themselves!" It's not a bug! There's nothing wrong with the session existing across multiple browsers. Have you thought of a possible problem this might cause? But to keep da boss happy, tell him that you have implemented a high level Mp3 Doo Woppa security code to keep multiple-browser sessions from screwing up the app. Easy! -----Original Message----- From: Kris Pilles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 10:44 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Session question Well. I don't really see the big deal but since im a morona and mentioned this issue to my boss now I have to fix it.... So, any help would be appreciated.
