What would happen if you always tried to close it, even before it is open? How about closing it every time it loses focus?

If the user refreshes the parent window, the pointer to the popup disappears, so if a user gets the popup, leaves it up, hits another link, goes to another page, the function still exists, but the pointer to the window is gone, so it doesn't know how to close the open window before reopening it. .<sigh>... s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
