Close window by name

[landon11]

Can you close a window by useing its name or any other way besides if it was opened by you or the opener.

IIRC, you can get a handle to a named window by using the window.open function without specifying a new url. Using that handle you can then close the named window.

winhandle = window.open('','windowname','options used only if window does not exist already')
winhandle.close()

Can you formulate the question again? Exactly, what do you want to do?

In javascript, you can assign a window to a variable and then close it...

a=window.open('....')
...
a.close()

I have a page that opens two windows. From one of the opened windows I want to close the other.
