More popup windows

[Dingbat]

Hi Guys,

I am sure that someone will have the answer to this question. I have a popup window that opens when the child window opens. I would like to know how do I close both the popup and the child window and direct to another page in a frameset?:confused:

[Mr J]

You could try the following taking into account that

This link would be in the window that opened the popup.
The popup must be given a name

< a href="page.htm" target="framename" onclick="window.close();windowname.close()">Link</a>


framename is the target frame
windowname is the name of the popup
window.close() closes the current window

Hi Mr J,

Thanks for that code, I regret that it didn't achieve the effect that I required.

I am really looking for some code that will open a new wondow from a frame and the when the new window is closed to return to the frameset but with a new page in the frame. I seem to think that it is along the lines of a .location to reopen the frameset.

I hope that you can assist.

Regards,

The Dingbat.:confused:

Link to make the pop-up window:

<a href="yourpopuppage.html" target="popup"
onClick="javascript:popup=window.open('','popup','width=300,height=300,left=0,top=0')">Make Pop Window</a>


Link to close the pop-up and replace the frame with the new page:

<a href="yournewpage.html" target="NameofFrameWhereThisLinkIs"
onClick="if(popup && popup.open && !popup.closed)popup.close()">Close All & Opens New Page in frame</a>


Should work for you...

(You need to remove the spaces that the forum adds.)

See if this is what you are after


In the page/frame that is going to open the popup

<script>
function newWin(theURL)
{
var newWin=open((theURL),'','width=200,height=100,top=300,left=250' );
}
</script>


<a href="javascript:newWin('yourpage.htm');">Your Link</a>


In the page loaded into the popup

<A HREF="Your Page2.htm" target="framename" onclick="window.close(-1); return true">Link</A>


framename is the frame that the new page is loaded into
