Waiting For A Popup Window To Close
Jul 20, 2005
I am currently having problems with Popup windows in an application I
am writing. I have a page, which opens a Popup window to a Perl Script
on another server.
Because of this, I cant access the Parent's DOM to execute a function
on the main page from the popup. I need to execute a script in the
Main window once the popup window has finished its process.
I have tried setting a loop that checks if the popup is still open,
which should work in principle.... however it hangs both Browser
Windows.

- 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.

I have a popup window that opens from a page on my website.
This popup is a form with several fields.
Upon submit button it redirects to a server side ASP page which writes
all data to the DB.
I would like the popup to close immediately after the submit button is
clicked, and data is saved, (or cancel button) - but this does not
happen.
The popup window remains open, even though I have a "return false;"
after window.open in the onclick event.
What am I missing?
<a href="myurl.asp"
'title','toolbar=no,width=700,height=600'); return false;">post a
note</a>;

I am trying to do two things. I have PDF files but the user has to click on the icon and a contact form will come up in a pop-up window. That window has a form and once the form is completed and properly validated, I want the pop-up window to automatically close and go to "white_papers.com?download=1". It will do everything but it only goes to white_papers.com. How can I get it to go to the entire URL including "?download=1"?

As per the rather long subject, I would like to (well, my boss would like me to...) on a popup have one button to close and another to close but then redirect to another page.

I have a popup window that has a "link" inside it, which needs to have a target=_blank but when ever clicked in IE, it stays inside the same window.I tried all of the following, none work
<a href='http://www.myurl.net' onclick='window.close();' target='_blank'>
<a href="http://www.myurl.net" target="_blank" onClick="javascript:window.close()">
<a href="http://www.myurl.net" target="_blank" onClick="javascript: setTimeout(window.close, 10);">

I was curious if such a thing is possible, I've seen it done before, but not exactly sure how that would work. Would it have something to do with the window.close (); function?

Is it possible for me to make visible a close button if the active
window is a popup window or a new window (other than the main window)?
What I mean is this:
If the present window is the main window, then the close button should
not be visible on the page. Otherwise, the close button should be made
visible and active (i.e. can be clicked to close the window).

Here's what I have so far, it doesn't work:
HTML Code:
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.

I'm just restating my "site abandonment" post but with a clearer title as I realized it probably only made sense to me and me alone.
I have window that pops up with our commerce system. I have it set to pop up a window via JavaScript if the visitor quits early in the process (abandons the commerce system before completing all of the steps. The new popup is just a customer survey ("why are you leaving, is there something else we can help you with" etc. etc.).
Here's the problem, it works fine in IE, but in Firefox, anytime the page in the original commerce window is changed, refreshed or advanced to a new page, the survey popup window is called rather than just on window close.
Again, here's the two JavaScript routines that handle clicks on the graphical close button and on the window 'X' close button. Code:

I read about window object and specifically about creating popup windows. The code below produces a popup window when a link is clicked:
Code JavaScript:
var Survey =
{
init: function()
{
var surveyLink = document.getElementById("survey");
Core.addEventListener(surveyLink, "click", Survey.clickListener);
},
[Code]....
I would like to add a "Close Window" button on survey.html page and when that button is clicked, the window would close. How do I do that? I know that I should use (reference to popup window).close(), but how and where do I attach even listener to that button?

I wrote an ASP-page which allows friends to upload a datafile which will be processed and stored in a database. Because large files take some time to process I want to open a popup 'Please wait, processing' with some fancy graphics. So, onSubmit -> check form and open popup if correct. When data is written into the database (and summary page has finished loading) I want to close the popup.... although I named it winDialog (winDialog = window.open(...)) the new page tells me it can't find this popup ( if (window.winDialog) { winDialog.close() } ). Can anyone tell me what's wrong? Maybe I'm doing things wrong. Or could you perhaps put me in a right direction...

I have this script which I found bits-and-pieces and put together to display and close the popup. The problem is I couldn't figure out a way to close the popup by clicking anywhere on a page. I can close by clicking on the link but that's not what i want. I want to be able to click anywhere on a page to close the popup.
