How to close opened popup window by clicking a button?

Hello all,

Help me!

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function popMe() {
openMe = window.open('http://www.google.com/','google','location=no,
status=no, width=640, height=480, left=100, top=100');
openMe.focus();
}

function closeOpened() {
closeIt = window.close('google'); // I need help on this line.
}
//-->
</script>

</head>

<body>

<input type="button" value="Click me!" onclick="popMe();" /> <input
type="button" value="Close opened" onclick="closeOpened();" />

</body>
</html>
--------------------

I have one button says "Click me!" when I click on that button its
calls a function "popMe()" and opens a popup window. And also I have
another button which says "Close Opened" and when I click on it, it
doesn't close the opened window.

Is my script is wrong? Help me on the function "closeOpened()".

Thank you in adv.

You must call the close method of your opened window, not from your
current one:

if (openMe && openMe.close && !openMe.closed)
openMe.close();

Thanks.

It worked, but there's a problem. When i click on "Close Opened"
without opening a popup, it says error on page 'openMe' is undefined.

Can I alert the user when they click first "Close Opened" button
without opening popup.

I'll be Thankful.

Will this help? Watch for word-wrap.

<html>
<head>
<title>closer.html</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pop;
function popOpen() {
pop = window.open('http://www.google.com/','google','status=no,width=640,
height=480,left=100,top=100');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Click me!" onclick="popOpen();" />
<input type="button" value="Close it!" onclick="pop.close()" />
</form>
</body>
</html>


Of course, you can still have:

function popClose() {
pop.close();
}

<input type="button" value="Close it!" onclick="popClose()" />

You need to either check the existence of your global variable first or
define one before.

Can I alert the user when they click first "Close Opened" button
without opening popup.
Click to expand...

if (typeof openMe == "object" && openMe.close && !openMe.closed)
openMe.close();
else
alert("No window open");
