Call A Function In A Child Window?

May 4, 2010

I have a small window that I can call from my top menu that opens a 'radio station' to play music clips from, my site. If the user goes to a page with video/audio players on it and opens one of these tracks, I need to send a 'STOP' command to the radio window. I think the pseudo-code would look like:

Code:

if (window.open 'DashRadio')
javascript:player.sendEvent('STOP');
endif

But I cannot get the code to address the 'DashRadio' window.I open it from my top menu like so:

Code:

<a class="radmenu" href="radio.htm" title="Play DashRadio" onclick="return popup(this, 'DashRadio')">DashRadio</a>

You can see it in action at The Soundsmith, the actual radio window is this one. I would have thought this was stupid simple, but I can't get a handle to the Radio window. OTOH, I am very much a newbie in javascript, I spend a few years in FoxPro and other 3GL languages, but C-style code throws me.

Call Parent Window Function From Child Window?

Jan 18, 2010

I have created and opened a child window called "checkwin" and have written some data to it. If the data is valid, I want the user to click on the 'CONFIRM' button on the child window, at which time I want the "submit()" function for the form on the parent window to be executed. If the data is invalid the user clicks on 'MODIFY' and I want focus to return to a field on the parent form. However, when I click on the "CONFIRM" or "MODIFY" buttons on the child window, nothing happens. Here is the code:

checkwin.document.write("</td></tr><tr><td align='right'><input type='button' value='CONFIRM'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.submit()'></td><td></td><td><input type='button' value='MODIFY'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.first_name.focus()'></td></tr></table>")

Call Javascript In Parent From Child (pop Up) Window

Jan 12, 2007

I have some javascript that works in Firefox 2 but not in IE 7. In the
parent page, a user clicks a link and a new window is opened so that
they can maintain some values. When the user is finished, they can
click either a save or a cancel button. If the user clicks the save
button, I want the parent page to be refreshed and then the child
window to close. I have this working perfectly in FF2 but it does not
in IE. In IE, the parent page is refreshed but when it refreshes, the
screen that comes back is the same screen as the child window. When
the child window should close, it instead is being refreshed and comes
back as a blank screen. Code:

Function To Call A Function In All Child Frames

Oct 16, 2006

I have a document that can contain any number of iframes which have
further copies of the same document (and so on). In practice, we
shouldn't ever have frames within frames, but I'd like to make the
implementation a general case.

Various of the functions in the parent document need to call themselves
in the child documents with the same parameters as they've just been
passed.

Now, I can stick a loop in each function that goes throught the
window.frames array and calls the function for each frame, but for I'd
like to write a function to do this.

It's at this point that my brain explodes. If I limit it to a single
parameter we can do:

JQuery :: Using $(window).scroll To Call A Function

Feb 13, 2011

I need to have a function run only once when the user scrolls. My problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to get .scroll to only check for that first scroll. I have come up with a working solution using a count, but I am hoping there is a better way to do it. I assume that it checking for a scroll constantly is just a waste of resources. My solution doesn't fix that problem, it only makes sure the function runs once.

Here is what I have:

JQuery :: Syntax For First Child And Last Child In A Find Function?

Jan 5, 2012

so i wrote this slider with some help from an admin, everything works as I would like it to but I'm trying to make it a plugin so i need to tighten up a certain part of the code:

(function( $ ){
$.fn.jmSlider = function() {
// get total width of all li elements in the slider
var wrapWidth = 0;

[code]....

what i would like to do is instead of using "li:first" and "li:last", i would like to use first-child and last-child so the element doesn't need to be a li, in can be anything that is the direct child of the parent container.

Child Windows Can Not Access Window.opener When Multiple Child Windows Are Open

Jul 23, 2005

I have a parent window that pushes a new window object onto an Array
with the following code :

OpenChild()
{

//totalNumWindowsCreated is global

totalNumWindowsCreated = totalNumWindowsCreated + 1;
childWnds.push(window.open(link, "child" +
totalNumWindowsCreated,"dependent"));

..
..
..
}

This pops up a new window with every call. In the child window I call
a parent function onbeforeunload, appClose() :

function appClose(){

if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed){
window.opener.CloseChild(getQueryString("application"));
}}

This is in my frameset tag of the child code :

<frameset ... onbeforeUnload='appClose()'>

The window.opener.CloseChild() function is called perfectly when I have
one child window open, but as soon as I create another child window
both of the open child windows don't ever call it. They do both go
into the onbeforeunload appClose() function, but do not call the
window.opener.CloseChild() function inside of this routine.

Anyone have any ideas why when I have two child windows open I can't
access the window.opener functions?

I have tried taking each new window out of the array and used the
following code in CloseChild() :

CloseChild()
{

//win and totalNumWindowsCreated are both global

totalNumWindowsCreated = totalNumWindowsCreated + 1;
var win = window.open(link, "child" +
totalNumWindowsCreated,"dependent");

..
..
..
}

Child Pop Up Race Condition Using Window.open Need To Detect Window.onload

Nov 22, 2011

I am trying to pop up a window and then do stuff(set flags) when the content of the new window is done loading. For this I am trying to detect the window.onload of the pop-up child window but so far I am unsuccessful. I believe my problem is that the URL of child window is on different domain, than the one of the opener(parent) so that the window.onload is not being called. Though this may change, at the moment I do not have access to the code for the page I'm opening up in the pop-up. Im pretty new to web development.

May 3, 2009

I'm trying to create code to close the child window I'm creating if the parent window is closed. Here's my code so far:

function openWindow() {
var newWin = window.open(); // open the new window
newWin.document.write('<h1>Child Window</h1>

The above openWindow function is used in this event: <input type="button" name="btn" onclick="openWindow()"value="Open a new window" />

I can generate the new window fine. I just can't close it if the parent window is closed.

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.

Not Detecting Window.onload From Child Pop-up Window?

Nov 22, 2011

I am trying to pop up a window and then do stuff(set flags) when the content of the new window is done loading. For this I am trying to detect the window.onload of the pop-up child window but so far I am unsuccessful. I believe my problem is that the URL of child window is on different domain, than the one of the opener(parent) so that the window.onload is not being called. Thought this may change, at the moment I do not have access to the code for the page I'm opening up in the pop-up. Im pretty new to web development.

Heres my js code

Code:

//globals
var popupHandle = null;
var openingWindow = false;
function popWindow(URL){

[Code]....

Note: The whole reason why I am doing this is because if its the first time I am clicking on the button that will open this pop up window and I click it repeatedly very quickly, a new pop up is opened for each time I clicked eventhough the window.open is supposed to reuse the window if it has the same windowId. The first call to window.open takes long enough to not have a window handle and allow other clicks to get through.
