Closing A Window In Firefox

Jun 20, 2010

I'm putting together a popup flash player that can be launched from a url posted on a board. The link goes to a landing page which executes an onLoad script that opens the popup, then closes itself, leaving the popup over the board. Works fine in IE, but in FF the landing page remains open behind the popup and over the board. It will not self.close, and can't be closed from the popup (close.opener). Leading theory is that a FF window cannot be closed with script if it was not opened with script, and I've somewhat confirmed this, but seems a simple thing and should be doable.

Firefox 2.0: Closing A Window

Oct 26, 2006

With Firefox 1.5+, I used the following code to close a window/tab:

===
<html><head>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function closeWindow() {
window.open('','_parent','');
window.close();
}
closeWindow();
</script></head><body></body></html>
===

Since I upgraded to Firefox 2.0, it does not work - the window/tab
stays open.

Any idea how I can "load a page" that would force a window/tab close?

Closing .js File When Closing Associated Window

Aug 18, 2010

I have a starting page, Page1.php that uses Page1.js.In Page1.js, I'm using the onclick event for a button that's on that page. When the button is clicked, it goes to Page2.php. Okay, fine.Page2.php is using Page2.js. But when the browser switches to page 2, I get a javascript error because, somehow, it's still referencing the Page1.js file. (Using IE8)So how do I 'dereference' the first javascript file, so that when Page2 loads, it doesn't still try to instantiate the objects in Page1.js? (I'm getting a null object error when Page2.php loads).

JQuery :: Closing Window After Ajax Request In A Pop Up Window?

Nov 15, 2011

I have done thus far is set up a simple Ajax request to my server to log in a user (This part seems to work just fine). The problem that I am incurring is that I would like to close the window if the user has been successfully logged in and not close the window (aka - show the form errors via php) if the user did not input the correct credentials.

This is what I have got so far (which simply logs in a user): -note: the php currently just spits out Sucess or Fail to the jquery ajax request and I would like to add a way to verify if logged in then close window but if not keep window open

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#myform").validate({
debug: false,
rules: {

[Code]....

This seems to work fine and dandy to just return Success or Fail to the #results div but is there a way to verify if the user is logged in success or not or at least a way to catch such validation that is sent back from the php script?

I was also playing with adding the below code after the $.post request but it obviously just closes the window no matter what the response.

window.close();
// return
return false;

Focus On Parent Window After Closing Child Window?

Sep 24, 2009

I'm having trouble with Safari. After i close a popup it does not focus on the parent window. I have been looking around and i think its this sort of thing i need 'javascript:window.opener.focus()" target="_self"' but tbh i'm not in anyway a javascript whizz, so im a little confused.

Here is my current code to close the child window

document.write("<input name='close' class='button popup' type='button' value='Close Window' onclick='window.close()' id='close'>"

So i need to somehow, add in the .opener thing to that.

Refreshing The Parent Window After Closing The Child Window?

Jan 24, 2010

I have a parent page which I don't have control of. I call my child page from parent page, perform some operations and once I click update child window should close and parent window should be refreshed.Everything seems to work fine except the parent page not refreshing.I tried using window.opener.location.reload(true). But it makes a postback in the parent page and so the values that I update are lost because it makes a postback with the previous values.I tried window.opener.document.locationwindow.opener.document.location. But this doesn't refresh my parent page.

Closing Pop-up Window

Sep 11, 2002

Does anyone know how to have a pop-up window close once someone's clicked on a link? And can cookies be incorporated into this so that the window only pops up once a day?

At the minute, when someone clicks on a link, it opens up the page behind the window so you have to then also close the window. This is the script now: Code:

Detecting User Closing Window X

Jul 23, 2005

Can anybody let me know how to detect when my user clicks the X button
on the window. I used unload event it did not work(on IE). My web page
is a .asp page which reloads itself when navigating on the site. Now
whenever the user clicks any links on the page the unload event is
triggered which is not what I want. I only want to detect when user
clicks the X button and not when the URL changes.

code i used:
<body onunload="alert('leaving window');">

Basically this alert window is triggered everytime the URL changes and
not just when the window closes(which is what i want).
