On the page that opens up your popup, have a function that knows whether
or not the page is opened, then close it if it is, every time.

Call this function to open your popup.

<script language="JavaScript">
        var up;
        up = false; 
        function windowopener(num) {
                if (up) userpage.close();
                userpage = window.open("page.cfm");
                up = true;
                userpage.focus();}
</script>

Subject: OT: javascript popup window

I'm working with a named popup window ( and yes, I know ) ... so if the
popup is still open and it's opened a second time, it doesn't open
another
window, it just reuses the existing window. The problem I'm having is
that
in Netscape, I can't seem to get the onload event to fire when the
window is
reopened. If I close the popup first, it works fine. If I leave the
popup
open and it opens a second time, I can't get it to display the popup
info or
come to the front. I have this script on the popup page:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
        function showThisAlert() {
                var arg = window.dialogArguments;

                arg.message = arg.message.replace("PRE>","P>");
                setHTML("alertBody",arg.message);

                document.getElementById("ok").onclick = (typeof arg.onok
== "string")? new
Function(arg.onok) : arg.onok ;
                if (arg.oncancel != null) {
                        document.getElementById("cancel").onclick =
(typeof arg.oncancel ==
"string")? new Function(arg.oncancel) : arg.oncancel ;
                        document.getElementById("cancel").style.display
= "inline";
                }
        }
        window.onload = showThisAlert();
        window.onfocus = showThisAlert;
        window.focus();
</script>

window.dialogArguments; is set by the js function that calls the popup
window like this:

mypopup = window.open(...);
mypopup.dialogArguments = myargumentsobject;

Like I say, it works beautifully the first time the popup is opened.

Anybody have any ideas?
