all you have to do is be sure you're opening the child window WITH a na me. Then, all you have to do is, from the parent window (or any window for that matter), call
_childWindowName.close(); If the window has URLs in the history it will ask the user whether they want to close it or not, otherwise it will just close it. "clint " <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 01/15/2002 08:48:27 AM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: OT: Parent/Child windows Does anyone know what the syntax is to control a child window from the parent window that opened it? Basically what I have done is built an extended session timeout warning and what my boss is wanting is that if a user gets the timeout warning and does not close the child window and continues to work, the child window gets closed automatically... I have searched and searched and cannot find the syntax to access the c hild window from the parent.. Any help,links,code will be appreciated. ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
