JavaScript - Window.open Then Using Window.close After. Getting Error.
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(); Similar TutorialsHi! I need to open a window when: 1 user leaves the site 2 when the browser is closed. I tried the 'unLoad' event but it works only for the user leaves site case and not the browser close. Here is the code I tried: <html> <head> <title>Detecting browser close </title> <script type="text/javascript"> function doUnload() { myWin= open("exit_site.php", "exitWin", "width=50,height=50"); } </script> </head> <body onunload="doUnload()" <h4>Close browser!</h4> </body> </html> Neep your help, please Hi, I have parent page with 10 child window and i want to close all child window when click on close session button on parent but first i need to check whether any child window open or not after that action should be done for close the child window. 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. - PW Hi Ive found out how to force another browser window to open at a certain size when a link is clicked. Here's the whole line of code including the layer, the javascript and the image, <div id="Layer6" style="position:absolute; width:10px; height:8px; z-index:6; left: 561px; top: 310px"><a href="javascript:;" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('navigation%20instructions.htm','','width=50,height=50')"><img src="images/info.gif" width="15" height="15" border="0"></a></div> How do I adapt this so I can also specify the x&y co-ordinates of the opened window relative to the window that launched it. thanks alot Masten Is there a way when you use the window.open to not display the Internet Explorer pop up box that say the file can not be found when the file does not exist? Below is a small example of the code. I want to supress the message when new.pdf does not exist and go directly to opening the old copy of the file. Or is there a way to check to see if a file exists before trying to open it? <script language="JavaScript"> window.onerror=function(){ return true } function LoadPDF() { try { window.open('FILE:new.pdf') } catch (err) { window.open('FILE:Old.pdf') } } </SCRIPT> I am trying to open a link in a new window and get this error. What am i doing wrong on the code below: Code: <a onclick="window.open('http://c1739202.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/Assignments_final_demo.htm'
width=" height='860,menubar=no,status=no,"' location="no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no')""

God bless in Jesus name. *ADDED* Though i am advised to add 'window .open' as one of the arguments to the OK button which i did yet it doesn't work somebody please help me out! I am using Mozilla 3.6 could this mean that it doesn't support this? window.open() doesn't open an entirely new window in FF3.6, just a new tab suggestions? Edit: Yeah, ok, so if i specify a size smaller than the current standard window, it'll be forced to open a new window. but what if i want a new standard sized window to open entirely? and in any case, i wan t amore direct solution where possible, thanks. Hi, In my "main.js" file I need to create a new window with a button. If the button clicked a function in the "main.js" file is called. I tried the following, but new window does not see the function in the "main.js" file. function create_new_window() { my_window = window.open ("","mywindow1","status=1,width=350,height=150"); my_window.document.write('<H1>My Window ...</H1>'); my_window.document.write('<form><input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="submitData();"/></form>'); .... } function submitData() { ... } 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...) I am trying to execute a simple window.close function to be used in IE8 and IE9, and window.close() doesn't seem to be working. Are there any known fixes?
Been trying for three days to find a way to self close a FF window. The window is opened from a link on a board, and its only purpose is to run an onLoad script that launches a popup window, after which I need it to close itself. There are any number of ways to do this in IE, but nothing works in FF - the parent window remains open. Seems ridiculous that something so simple can't be done. Any help would be appreciated. Thx. Hi guys, I have read that the window.close won't work unless the window was opened through window.open. Eventhough I have the window opening through window.open method the window.close simply wont close the window. Below is my code. I appreciate you help as I am desperate to finish my project and this is the only thing between me and the closed project. I have this in the <head> in the parent window. Code: <script language="javascript">
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features){
var left = (screen.width/2)-(800/2);
var top = (screen.height/2)-(560/2);
features = features + ",left=" + left;
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
</script>
the left and top is to center the window which is working. Then I have the below code in my button which is to open the window. Code: <input type="button" value="E-MAIL" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('email.php?camp_id=<?php echo $encrypted; ?>','','width=860,height=600'); return false"/>
The $encrypted is created beforehand and the window gets opened as well. Now in the popup window... Up on submitting a form, I need the popup to close after saying 'email has been sent'. this is the code for calling the fuction Code: echo "<script language='javascript'>success();</script>"; I get the alert too. Code: function success(){
alert('E-Mail Sent Successfully');
window.close();
}
I even get the alert mentioning "E-Mail Sent Successfully". But simply the window is not closed. Can you guys please shed me some light on this.... Your help is greatly appreciated Ohh and by the way I'm running FF8. Cheers E I am working on my homework. On my page, I need to make a modal window, which is just a picture has x or close letter, shows up whenever people open the page. So far, I called a picture with onload in a body and centered the picture. I don't know if there is anyway that I can just put x or close somewhere so that whenever people click x or close, the picture is not going to be visible ( promoPic.style.visibility = "hidden" this is my code for the picture. And I though I can just put input button or any letters inside of picture because its wrapped by paragraph, but, I can't. I guess I am miss understanding some concept? Code: <body onload="promoCenter()"><p><img src="http://codingforums.com/images/hauntedHouse.jpg" id="promoPic" alt="Haunted House" height="400" width="400" /></p> I've been trying to write a script that activates a confirm box when a browser window is closed. I want this to occur only when they try to close the window, not if they click on links on the page to navigate elsewhere. The confirm box then gives the option to continue closing as they intended or, if they click on ok (or cancel if it's easier), navigate to another page I specify. The script below works but it displays a confirm box when you close the window and click on links. Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function show_confirm()
{
var r=confirm("Wait! Would you like check out yahoo?");
if (r==true)
{
window.open("http://www.yahoo.com");
}
else
{
window.close();
}
}
window.onbeforeunload = show_confirm;
</script>
I understand you may be able to create a variable that you then attach to any links on the page you don't want to activate the confirm box. I don't know how to do this. Thank you. I have a form that lets users click on date time value that is a link. When the link is clicked, a pop up opens up allowing the user to change the date and time. When they submit the date/time change form, the pop up is supposed to close and the date/time i the original form should be updated. This works in IE, but not FireFox. Inital form code: Code: function openTimeWin(windowURL, windowname)
{
var strHelpOptions = 'toolbar=1,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width=320,height=230';
mywindow = window.open(windowURL, windowname,strHelpOptions);
mywindow.moveTo(5,5);
mywindow.focus();
}
Code: <A HREF="javascript:openTimeWin('CallLoggerTime.cfm?SCDate=#URLEncodedFormat(DateFormat(StartCall,'mm/dd/yyyy'))#&ECDate=#URLEncodedFormat(DateFormat(EndDefault,'mm/dd/yyyy'))#&SCTime=#URLEncodedFormat(TimeFormat(StartCall,'h:mm:ss tt'))#&ECTime=#URLEncodedFormat(TimeFormat(EndDefault,'h:mm:ss tt'))#','TimeWin')">#TimeFormat(StartCall,"h:mm:ss tt")#</a>
Pop up window relevant code: Code: <script language="Javascript"> opener.ThisForm.StartCall.value = "#newStart#"; opener.ThisForm.EndCall.value = "#newEnd#"; opener.catchdummy.prematureflag.value=0; opener.ThisForm.submit(); self.close(); </script> Anyone know what's up? Thanks! I want to capture Window close event. UnLoad will not help me as this event will be called whenever it is redirected to other page. I want as soon as user try to close the window i want to display an confirm message if user Click Ok then browser will be closed and if cancel it will not. Can anybody help me out on this. Dhiru hi all, ok, i have been asked to alter our project management system (one i wrote) to alert users to the fact that they are closing windows with unsaved work in - some of them forget they have edited a page and just close the window.

var docChanged = false;
function docChange(){
docChanged = true;
}
function checkForChanges() {
if(docChanged == true) {

}
}
window.onbeforeunload = checkForChanges;
</script>

the above will prompt the user if they want to save if fields etc have been changed. is there a way i can dynimcally add the onchange="docChange()" to all fields on a page? the system has hundreds of fields and doing a mass search and replace might be very dangerous lol. im pretty sure it can be done but wouldnt know where to start. ive never really had enough time to learn all the window.addEventListener stuff. Hi, I have a requirement. I have to submit a form [which will open a new window once it is submitted], and immediatly I have to close the orginal page. Currently I am using window.close() statement after formName.submit(). But it closes the window before submit completes. So I tried with window.setInterval("window.close()",1000); It worked for some time, but when the form submition takes long ... same old repeats Please let me know how to handle this? Below is the code snipet //lanuch_frm has the form and it submits to hidden frame 'lanuch_hidden' [CODE] <frameset rows='0%,*' frameborder="0" marginheight="0" border="0"> <frame name="launch_hidden" /> <frame name="launch_frm" src="<%=url%>" noresize="true" marginheight=0 scrolling="auto" leftmargin=0 topmargin="0" rightmargin="0" frameborder='2' /> </frameset> [CODE] Thanks, Mamidi |
