button to open a window and a button to close that window
I'm trying to open a new window by clicking a button on the "opener" page and then close that recently opened window with another button on the "opener" page.

I have the code to open the window:
Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function openwindow() {
    NewWin=window.open("",'mypopup','resizeable=yes,toolbar=no,status=no,sc  rollbars=yes,width=400,height=400');
    NewWin.location.href = "mypage.html";
}
//-->
</script>

you can't close it from the opener page, because the opener page no longer has the focus...it would have to be closed from the open window itself.

so I guess that's why NewWin.close(); didn't work? This just seems like something javascript could do. The newly opened window can control the opener but the opener can't control the new window? Bummer.

when the new window opens the other one loses focus...that's why it won't work.
the active window has precedence.

won't do anything...
The window can be opened by another page, but can only be closed by itself.

Hi,

U can close the window from any page using the Handler.
mywin=window.open(URL,window name,parameters);

To close the window use the handler or window name which u are using. In above code it is mywin.

if (mywin)
mywin.focus();

Thanks
FMBBC
