you *CAN* cheat sometimes "How do you programmatically close a browser window when you didn't open it?"
find out on http://www.aspalliance.com/peterbrunone/impossible.asp cheers barry.b -----Original Message----- From: Steve Onnis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 21 July 2003 1:41 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] RE: [OT] JS close window am pretty sure you can only do that from the page which opened the window. This is because its the browser that has given the window the name and knows what it is. Any other page will not know whar newWin referes to. You may have to do it via the window its self window.open("myPage.html","newWin"); newWin.close(); Steve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Taco Fleur Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 1:33 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] [OT] JS close window Easy question... I open a new window like newWin = window.open(...... etc. Then on a different page I would like to close this new window, should the folling not do this? window name.close() i.e. newWin.close() ?? It is not working, am I missing something?
