Good Morning Felix,
Worked like a champ ! Thanks. This seems counter-intuitive since
what I wanted to close (and was able to with your suggestion) was a
child window.
When I tried top.Windows.close('id') and added alert displays to window.js
::
// Closes a window with its id
close: function(id, event) {
var win = this.getWindow(id);
// alert('win ' + win);
// alert('win ID ' + id);
// alert('win Event ' + event);
if (win)
win.close();
else
// alert('No win ' + win);
if (event)
Event.stop(event);
},
::
the alert returned: ' win undefined '.
With parent.Windows.close(id), the alert returned: ' win object ',
then closed the window.
I will be renaming http://www.webtdo.com/index.html to
http://wwww.webtdo.com/prototypeWindowsClose.html, so others who may
want to review my question will be able to.
Javascript is definitely one of my weak points in my web programming arsenal.
Thanks again.
