Why this does not work?
Hi I want to check if the window that had opened the small window is still opened.
So I write this code in the small window

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" >
<script language="JavaScript">
window.setInterval("check()",1000);
</script>

it works only in netscape 4.75 but is does not in ie 5!!
I am calling every second the check function . The check function checks if the main window is still opened . If it is not open is again .

I believe IE has a known bug where window.closed returns the opposite it is supposed too... MSDN should have an article on it somewhere.

Can you try:

if (!window.opener) {
window.open("openercheck.htm","hi");
}

Could be that bug; but your original code is incorrect....

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

setInterval('if (opener.closed) open("openercheck.htm","hi")',1000);

</script>
