Sure, but you HAVE to know the name of the window, or use a reference variable.var win1 = window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank','');
var win2 = window.open('http://www.msn.com','_blank','');
var win3 = window.open('http://www.php.net','_blank','');

function closeWins() {
for (var i=0; i<arguments.length; i++)
eval(arguments[i]+'.close()');
}Now add this event to any elementonClick="closeWins('win1','win2','win3');"

you could have passed the window handles as objects not as strings so that you won't need to eval() them.


function closeWins() {
for (var i=0; i<arguments.length; i++)
arguments[i].close();
}


onClick="closeWins(win1,win2,win3);"
