I have a gallery of photos at my site ( http://homepages.enterpris
This is all fine, but recently I have noticed that people are going straight to the popup page (presumably from links on other peoples pages or from search engines). An example of what people see is at http://homepages.enterpris
Currently, you click on the image to close the window. I'd like to set it up to check before it closes the window what page it was opened from, and if it's mine then simply close the image window, otherwise, open my gallery instead.
Any idea how I'd do this?

<html>
<head>
<script language="javaScript">
function photoClick(){
if(window.opener=='http://
window.close();
else
document.location.replace(
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onClick="photoClick()"><im
</body>
</html>
this will check the url from which the window is opened
Hope this helps

dog42... I've tried your code, but it doesn't seem to do anything, but also doesn't throw up any errors (??)
It's on http://homepages.enterpris
Whther I open this direct or click the proper link, when I click to close the window, it doesn't close it or anything...
How about this:
<html>
<head>
<script>
<!--
function showPicture(picSrc, picWidth, picHeight){
var picString = "width='"+picWidth+"', height='"+picHeight+"', toolbar=0";
//var picWindow = new Window("picWindow", picSrc, picString);
picWindow = window.open(picSrc, "picWindow", picString);
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:parent.sh
</body>
</html>
There's no way the search engine can know which pics are getting opened....
regards,
CJ
sorry......
<html>
<head>
<script>
<!--
function showPicture(picSrc, picWidth, picHeight){
var picString = "width='"+picWidth+"',heig
//var picWindow = new Window("picWindow", picSrc, picString);
picWindow = window.open(picSrc, "picWindow", picString);
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:parent.sh
</body>
</html>
Only one way I can think of:
Main page:
document.cookie = 'beentohomepage=true';
window:
<a href="javascript:;
onClick="
cook='' + document.cookie;
if (cook.indexOf('beentohomep
else window.open('http://www.my
Now they only close the window by mistake IF they have been to your homepage earlier in that browser session

Well, you can call your full photo pages like this:
window.open("full_photo.ht
and then in full_photo.htm:
var st = location.search;
if (st.indexOf("opened_from_m
window.close();
} else {
location.href = 'www.mygallery.com';
}
