JavaScript - I Want To Close All Open Lists, Which Contain Submenus

suggestions welcome !!

Hello! I am trying to find a script that allows you to open multiple browser tabs and then close each of those tabs, either one by one or all at once.

Does anyone know how to do this please?

Thanks so much for your help.

I am using a window.open to trigger a mailto: command.
I don't want the window to stay open so I try to close it right after.
The default email client launches correctly, but the window stays open and I get the following Javascript error:
Unable to get value of the property 'close': object is null or undefined

Code: Code:

var win = window.open(mailto_link,'emailWindow');
win.close();

I found on the javascriptkit.com tutorials their js code for submenus he http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/...leveltab.shtml

I've changed some things in the css but I'm afraid to change the js code. I would like my link to hide the submenu on the onmouseout. What is the code to do this and where would it go in my js page?

Here is the js code that I've taken from the tutorial if that helps:
Code:

var mastertabvar=new Object()
mastertabvar.baseopacity=0
mastertabvar.browserdetect=""

function showsubmenu(masterid, id){
if (typeof highlighting!="undefined")
clearInterval(highlighting)
submenuobject=document.getElementById(id)
mastertabvar.browserdetect=submenuobject.filters? "ie" : typeof submenuobject.style.MozOpacity=="string"? "mozilla" : ""
hidesubmenus(mastertabvar[masterid])
submenuobject.style.display="block"
instantset(mastertabvar.baseopacity)
highlighting=setInterval("gradualfade(submenuobject)",50)
}

function hidesubmenus(submenuarray){
for (var i=0; i<submenuarray.length; i++)
document.getElementById(submenuarray[i]).style.display="none"
}

function instantset(degree){
if (mastertabvar.browserdetect=="mozilla")
submenuobject.style.MozOpacity=degree/100
else if (mastertabvar.browserdetect=="ie")
submenuobject.filters.alpha.opacity=degree
}


function gradualfade(cur2){
if (mastertabvar.browserdetect=="mozilla" && cur2.style.MozOpacity<1)
cur2.style.MozOpacity=Math.min(parseFloat(cur2.style.MozOpacity)+0.1, 0.99)
else if (mastertabvar.browserdetect=="ie" && cur2.filters.alpha.opacity<100)
cur2.filters.alpha.opacity+=10
else if (typeof highlighting!="undefined") //fading animation over
clearInterval(highlighting)
}

function initalizetab(tabid){
mastertabvar[tabid]=new Array()
var menuitems=document.getElementById(tabid).getElementsByTagName("li")
for (var i=0; i<menuitems.length; i++){
if (menuitems[i].getAttribute("rel")){
menuitems[i].setAttribute("rev", tabid) //associate this submenu with main tab
mastertabvar[tabid][mastertabvar[tabid].length]=menuitems[i].getAttribute("rel") //store ids of submenus of tab menu
if (menuitems[i].className=="selected")
showsubmenu(tabid, menuitems[i].getAttribute("rel"))
menuitems[i].getElementsByTagName("a")[0].onmouseover=function(){
showsubmenu(this.parentNode.getAttribute("rev"), this.parentNode.getAttribute("rel"))
}
}
}
}

Thank you so much for your help.

Hi,
I'm wanting to make a submenu appear on the page when a menu item is mouse-overed. I can find examples online where UL and LI are used, but that won't work in my layout:
http://www.girlscoutsmoheartland.org/newpagetest.php

Here, the menu items like "home" and "for girls" need to generate a horizontal submenu below where "menu item A" and "menu item B" are, and each submenu would appear in the same location as the other submenus, disappearing and appearing as a different menu item above is hovered over.

All I can find are like this:
http://htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/
and I can't figure a way to conform that to this layout.

Can someone point me to a site that has a solution for this situation?
Thanks!
Liam

Hi! I'm new to this, so please bare with me. My terminology may not be up to par.

Here's the deal:

- 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:
Code:

on (release) {
	getURL("example1.html", "_blank");
}

- 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:
Code:

onClick="MM_goToURL('parent','example2.html')"

- On each page, I have a "Return to Main Menu" button that should close the popup window. To do this, I have been using:
Code:

onClick="window.close()"

- 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.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

I want to restrict opening my popup window if it is already opened. For simple scenario, it is quite possible to do but in my case --

1) When parent page is opening popup window, it is getting refreshed (required from client for some reason).

2) Once submit button is clicked from popup window, again parent page is getting refreshed (again its a requirement from client side).

With these 2 conditions, I lost my saved value from variable and hence new popup is keep coming when the action is same.

Currently I am using below code to open popup

[CODE]
function OpenWindow()
{
if(winPop && !winPop.closed)
{
alert("Popup is already open");
}
else
{
winPop = window.open('MyPopupPage.aspx');
}
}
[CODE]

Please help me to get rid of this problem.
Thanks in advance.

I do write some php, but have not much idea about JavaScript.

I use window.open to open 10 pages simultaneously. I prefer to open them with a time delay from each other to put less load on the target server. This is my code with no delay. (I played around with setTimeout but can't get it to work.)

PHP Code:
<a href='http://www.".$new[9]."' 
onclick="window.open('http://www.".$new[0]."/');
window.open('http://www.".$new[1]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[2]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[3]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[4]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[5]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[6]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[7]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[8]."/')\" target='new300/'>Open 10</a> 

ok, so i got some help on here to modify some java that resides in a server-side program that is limited in scope of modification, but i was able to find the code that i need to modify to perform the behavior i need.

the code below works great at making sure the user entry data is formatted correctly, but fails on 2 critical points:

1) it allows a blank entry (needs to give similar error message as when formatted incorrectly - see code)

2) it allows any formatting if a combination of alpha and numeric characters are used (needs to give error message if ANY alpha characters are used).

THANKS so much in advance.


Code:

if( ! Form1.elements['EIF2'].disabled )

	var n=Form1.elements['EIF2'].value.match(/\d/g).join('');
	Form1.elements['EIF2'].value= 
	[n.substring(0,4),n.substring(4,9),n.substring(9)].join('-');

	{

	var re = /^\d{4}\-?\d{5}\-?\d{6}$/
if ( ! re.test( Form1.elements['EIF2'].value ) )
	{
	
	alert( 'Lawson # must be 15 digits\r(Example: 1234-12345-123456)' );
		return false;
    }

}

Hi! I have a problem with the function close();

The window does open but then it immediately closes by itself. I didn't even get to see the content and of course I didn't even click on the button "close the window!"

I want to be able to see the content of the page and when I click on the button, it will close the window. Thank you in advance for your help!

Code:

var window;
function newWindow(){
    window=window.open("", "Results", "width=400, height=250");
    window.document.write("<body><table>");
    window.document.write("<h1 style='border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px;font: italic 16pt Times New Roman, sans-serif; color: navy;'>Survey's Results</h1>");
    for(var i=0; i<tabVotes.length; i++){
       	window.document.writeln("<tr>");
       	window.document.writeln("<td style='text-align: center'>" + tabPeople[i] + "</td>");
        window.document.writeln("<td style='text-align: center'>" + tabVotes[i] + " votes </td>");
       	window.document.writeln("</tr>");	
    }
    window.document.writeln("</table>");
     window.document.writeln("<input name='Close' type='button' value='Close the window' />");
    window.document.getElementById('Close').onclick = window.close(); 
    window.document.writeln("<br /><br />Thank you!");
    window.document.writeln("</body>");
}

I am having a heck of a time closing this popup window when i logoff the site.

i open it by

Code:

shoutwindow = window.open("<?=$MY_LINK_ROOT?>/shoutbox/minichat.php", "shoutwindow", "location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,menubar=0,resizable=0  width=300,height=310");

when i click logoff the site i want the popup to close also

here is the logoff php

Code:

session_start();

         //only for testing will remove this

    if(!shoutwindow.closed)  

      {  

         echo "window open";
               self.close(); 

           
           //shoutwindow.close ();  // also tried both these didnt work
           //  window.close();

      }  

      else  

      {  

         echo "Window already closed";           

      }  

 


mysql_close($link);
unset($_SESSION['Sess_UserId']);

// Unset all of the session variables.

session_unset();

// Finally, destroy the session.

session_destroy();

echo "<script> location.href='$MY_LINK_ROOT'</script>";

exit;

?>

what am i missing here lol ? thanks

UPDATE: i just had an idea, can i mix a href and an onClick together so that both are executed like this (i never tried it before)

Code:

the reason i use self.close is because i heard that it always closes the child not the parent.

<a href="logoff.php" onClick="self.close()" return:true;>Log Off</a>

the return true will make it execute the href as well right?

this is quite embarrasing as i've done it before, but oh well...

trying to close a window that is opened with a built-in dreamweaver function called MM_openBrWindow(). trying to use this code: PHP Code:
if ($OutsideVisitors == "false") {
  echo '<center><strong><em><font size="4">THERE HAVE BEEN NO VISITORS TO THE WEBSITE TODAY...
  </font></em></strong><br><br><input name="closeme" type="button" id="closeme" 
  value="Close Window" onclick="Window.Close()"; /></center>';
                                 } 


i have also tried: PHP Code:
onclick=javascript:Window.Close() 


it's just not behaving for me. any hints anyone? thanks a bunch!

(the BrWindow() function in DW does open a popup window, so I think the js close() should work. if i remember right, a popup window is a prereq for that function to even work...)

Have been trying to make a button to close a web page but every time i try to get it validated "strict" it fails. I have used the following code.

Code:

<form action="">
<input type="button" value="Close Window"
onclick="window.close()">
</form>

Would really appreciate any help. Thanks
