Sorry if I seem silly or not to be thinking straight. Although I do have a programming background, I am rather new to Javascript and AJAX techniques. The function naming is the result of an attempt at solving the problem -but it didn't work. Ideally all the CFWINDOWs would all go through a *single* event handler and the name of the window could be retrieved via the object. This doesn't seem possible from what I have seem so far. "ob.name" gives you nothing. So next, I decided to do separate event handlers for each object. Unfortunately there is no way via pure javascript to see which windows by name happen to be open or not. So you will get an error when you try to getWindowObject on a window that might not be open. I suppose I could use CF to conditionally generate javascript code, but I do wish I could just query this all via Javascript.
Again, a single event handler with access to the name of the window would be ideal - I am amazed that this isn't possible. When working with windows it seems to me the ability to say DoesWindowExist() and get Window.name() should be part of the basic functionality. Of course, I could still be missing something. -Dustin -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 8:26 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Multple CFWINDOWS - cannot identify - 2nd try I must admit, either your not thinking straight or you are plan being silly. The answer is in your code, every window has a name. So why not do what you have done with the next window name? Personally, I would send an event back to the server when the mouse up event is fired and save that winodws coords in the db against that user window. That way cokkies can be switched off / deleted and still have that persistance feel. On 12/20/07, Dustin M.
