Closing Child window from parent window

[gokul]

Hi all,
Iam using mozilla firebird.
I have three popups displayed at one point of time...if I close one
the other two goes hidden....could you please suggest me the reason
for this behaviour and how to overcome it.....

While I opened......these child windows(popup)...from the main window
I have given "dependent=yes" in the window.open statement.

The sameway I want to close the Child windows opened from the parent
window using IE. I use IE 6.0.

All your suggestions are welcome.
TIA.
Regards
Gokul

How are you creating these windows?
win1 = window.open(...)
win2 = window.open(...)
win3 = window.open(...)

Then you close say one as: win2.close() ?

Don't know about the 'dependent' flag, try removing and see too.

Regards,
Elias

Dear Lallous,
Thank you for the Suggestion.But Iam unable to get the job done.
because its unable to find the object.
This is how I use the method in my parent window to create popup.
<a href="#" onclick="javascriptopup('http:\\localhost')">Open
Window</a>
as shown above from 2 to 3 pages I open these popups....
I use a js file by name popup.js which has the code:
function popup(sUrl)
{
popWin= window.open(sUrl, 'taxp_WFaq',
'dependent=yes,height=340,width=550,left=160,top=130, scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes');
popWin.unload="javascript:WinMaximize()";
popWin.focus();
childVal = popWin ;
return;
}

The above is the exact scenario.

TIA,
Gokul Raja Dhamodaran.

Dear Lallous,

javascript: is not required here, and you should probably be returning false to the event handler to
ensure the HREF is not followed:

Window</a>
as shown above from 2 to 3 pages I open these popups....
I use a js file by name popup.js which has the code:
function popup(sUrl)
{
popWin= window.open(sUrl, 'taxp_WFaq',
'dependent=yes,height=340,width=550,left=160,top=130, scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes');
popWin.unload="javascript:WinMaximize()";

This is not how you dynamically set an event, and even if it were, there is no "unload" event associated
with the window object. Perhaps what you are trying to do is:

popWin.onunload = function() { WinMaximize(); }

Of course, WinMaximize() has to be defined on the page you are opening, or this will not work. If
WinMaximize() is defined on the page you are opening *from*, then:

popWin.onunload = function() { if (opener && opener.WinMaximize) WinMaximize(); }

may work. Untested.

popWin.focus();
childVal = popWin ;
return;

return is unnecessary here, the function will return on it's own.

}

The above is the exact scenario.
