How can I make window appear and go away

Hi,

I my Javascript I popup an authentication window using the command;


unamePasswdWindow = open("auth.html","","width=500,height=100");

This works fine in IE,

In IE6 probably ?
Because I doubt with IE7.

and in Firefox 2.x on Windows and Linux,

Because you didn't explain to your FF to open popups in a tab ...

but the
open() just returns a null in Firefox 1.5 on Tru64 Unix.

Don't know what it is.

Later in the program I try to close the window using;

unamePasswdWindow.close();

In IE this works just fine and the window disappears, but in Firefox 2.x
on windows the window sticks around.

Works fine : Always with IE6, or is it with IE 7 ?

Until I raise it to the top by
clicking in it. Then it disappears.

re-install Windows

Which extensions has your FF ?
The AddBlock is actived ?

Perhaps could you try
unamePasswdWindow.focus();
unamePasswdWindow.close();

or
if(unamePasswdWindow && !unamePasswdWindow.closed)
unamePasswdWindow.close();

But the window not going away in Firefox is a
more serious problem.

It is very strange indeed.
Can't get same scenario.

What do your special browsers with :

(take care that page will try to resize its window)

Anyone have any suggestions on these 2 problems? The window opening on
Tru64 is just an annoyance since I doubt if I will have any customers
with that environment. But the window not going away in Firefox is a
more serious problem.

Thanks

It is the user who fix that in preferences of his brower.
Programmer can do nothing about this choice.

Seems to work fine. I can open f1 and f2 from the main window and close
f1 from f2 and f2 from f1. The close take place instantly.

So there is something else in your code that doesn't please to FF
Opening-n-closing FI F2 are very similar to what you gave as code
(except in my demo we have a little more difficulty : we pass by opener)

Don't you open twice (or more) your popup ?


Function to avoid to open more than once the popup :

function newPop(page) {
if(typeof(truc')=='undefined' || !truc || truc.closed)
truc = window.open('','','width=300,height=100');
truc.location = page;
truc.focus();
}
function closePop() {
if(typeof(truc')!='undefined' && !truc.closed)
truc.close();
else alert('no popup to close !');
}

IE 7

Extensions? The popup blocker is activated but popups are allowed from
this site

Perhaps could you try
unamePasswdWindow.focus();
unamePasswdWindow.close();

or
if(unamePasswdWindow && !unamePasswdWindow.closed)
unamePasswdWindow.close();

Tried that with no effect, also tried;

unamePasswdWindow.close();
unamePasswdWindow.focus();

It is very strange indeed.

I don't think so.
1st one has favicon in FF
2nd has not
The alone problem is that external css and ssi do not use same root
path, to use one url or other a ssi could fix it.

I tried the code fragment to prevent multiple opens and closes but that
did not help. It must be something subtly wrong in my code.

Thanks
