Can I Clear The Content Of A Window, Or Close It If It's Not Open.
Jul 20, 2005
I have 4 images on a page and when someone clicks on one of them I open a
secondary window and write a few lines to it describing the image.
If they don't close that secondary window however, and click on another of
these 4 images, my write commands print further down on that secondary
window.
I was reading through an old javascript book that talks about the
win1.document.clear(); method, but information on the Internet tells me that
this is now obsolete, or was just working on Netscape.
So then I decided to close the secondary window before re-opening it. But if
the user _did_ close the secondary window, I get an error saying that the
window I'm trying to close is already closed (or doesn't exist to be exact)!
Is there a way to clear the document in a window that I opened and wrote to?
Or is there a way to detect if win1 exists or not? If it exists, I would
close it. If it didn't exist, I would just re-open a new one.
I have a HTML and I am opening another link in a separate window using window.open() . The child window is something like 'http://yahoo.com' which is out side html. I need to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed.
I have popup window and I want when I press on "Clear" table content clear. I used document.writeln to write into the popup window. See the pic: [URL].
I need a script that will open a new window (popup / new link) in a specific size, but will also close the old window (where the popup came from). I know the popup window is easy but finding a work-able close window script as the new window is opened is impossible!!
Can I get javascript to open a window and close it, without a user seeing it? Basically, I want to open a site, so it downloads and sets a cookie before I display a link for a user to click on.
client wants for a window with no toolbars to open (technical and 'esthetical' reasons) after the window, user clicks on, is being closed.
I told them about security settings in browsers and no cross-browsers solutions and all of that we know, but they have told me they have seen that before and how then the annoying pop-up windows work? . . .
I have a page with 3 iframes it has a link to open up a page and when the user clicks on a link on that page - I want the new page to close and the link to open in the second iframe on the original page
In the onclick event I want to close the current window then open'ConfirmPage.aspx'. Whats the best way to do this? Can I close the first page then open the next, or should I be redirecting? If so whats the best way to redirect using javascript?
I have a popup that submits a link. After the link is submitted, I want the user to be able to close the popup and go to the submitted link in one click. How can I do this.
I have my reasons for using popups, it's hard to explain. Please don't tell me how bad popups are, I know they're bad.
Been trying on and off for days to find a happy cross-browser way to open up a new window and append some content to it. Obviously not a javascript pro here, and my Google-fu has failed me...
I've got a link that launches a little AJAX application in a window.
Like this:
function launchListener() { var newWindow = window.open("listener.php", "newWindow", "width=300,height=150"); }
Ideally, once this window is loaded, it will sit in the background and wait for stuff to happen. I would like to then change the title bar to denote changes. Simple enough, right?
Anyway, problem is: When the new window launches, its title is not exactly what I assign it in "listener.php" (for instance, "Listener"), but rather "http://155.55.55.55 - Listener" (or whatever). This means that while sitting the taskbar, generally all the user is going to see is a domain name and some dots, rather than what I want them to see.
I have multiple parent sections on the page. Each section has 3 child sections. Each parent toggles open and closed. and within each section there are buttons to toggle the children open and closed.
In the case of both the parents and their children, when a parent is toggled open I want the other parents to toggle closed . The same applies to the children of each parent. I want to close all the other open children when a child is toggled open. Rather like some accordions - which I can not use for this function. This way there is only one parent and one child open at any time
Because of the number of parents and children on the page I can not use Ids. All are designated by classes
I want to trap the window.close() event when the user clicks on the close button of the browser using javascript. Can anyone shed light on this problem ?
I have a function that parses xml data to a <ul>. What I need to know is how to clear the <ul> before parsing a second time to refresh the list.my current script looks like this:
Trying to learn the basics... Here is a script for three toggle buttons that each when clicked open their corresponding divs. Fine. Now how does one go about automatically closing an open div when clicking on a new 'toggler' that opens it's div? I see other posts about this very question, but I'm just not grasping the logic.
I have a couple of radio buttons that hide and reveal DIV tags. Here is what I'm trying to do:
1) radioBTN1 is clicked it reveals DIV1 with multiple text boxes in it 2) radioBTN2 is clicked it reveals DIV2 below DIV1 with multiple text boxes in it 3) the user fills in the text boxes in the DIV2 4) user changes mind and clicks radioBTN1 again to hide DIV2 5) when DIV2 is hidden it resets and clears all previous information
- I have a button on my Flash site that opens an HTML page in a popup window. In Flash, I open the new window using Actiosnscript 2.0:
- Within the popup window are links to other HTML pages. They all open in the same window. I've been using the following to create the links in Dreamweaver:
- On each page, I have a "Return to Main Menu" button that should close the popup window. To do this, I have been using:
- The problem is that it works differently in each browser, and I can't even get it to consistently close the window in most browsers:
Internet Explorer = popup message appears, asking "Are you sure you want to close this window?" or something similar; window closes after clicking "Yes."
Safari = Only closes if I'm on the original HTML page. If I click on any of the other links (note that these all open in the same window), those pages' "Return to Main Menu" buttons cease to work. However, if I keep clicking "Back" until I get to the original page, it closes.
Opera = Button actually works for each page.
Firefox & Chrome = Does not close the window at all.
I looked into it and saw that others have used a window.opener to solve similar issues. But, since my popup window is opened using Flash/AS2, I need to find a way around it.
I've tried preceding "window.close()" with "window.opener=null" (i.e. -onClick="window.opener=null; window.close()"), but I don't think I'm doing it right because it still doesn't work.
I've also seen others use codes that involve functions and variables, but it is beyond my current coding knowledge to implement this. Like I said, I'm sort of new at this.
