asked on

finding if a particular popup is open

hi

can i get the code to know if a particular popup window of the many popup window in my site is open. if the popup window is open then only i wish to refresh it otherwise i dont wish to do anything. Is there a function in Javascript to find out if a particular window isopen.

Assuming the name of the popup is "tick"

i am doing this at one of the hyperlink(ie opening my tick popup)

**************************************

popupWin = window.open('/sh.asp','tick','toolbar=no,border=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,width=514,height=120,left=270,top=25');
popupWin.focus()

**************************************

Now if i wish to "logout/login" (another hyperlink in my site) from my site then if only this popup "tick" is open i want to refresh it otherwise not.

It would be great if anybody can really help me.


Thanks a lot.

Regards
Priya

Try
 win1=window.open('opener1.html','window1','width=300,height=300')
 
 if (win1.closed)  
 
 The closed property is a boolean value that specifies whether a window has been closed. When a window closes, the window object that represents it continues to exist, and its closed property is set to true.

Use closed to determine whether a window that you opened, and to which you still hold a reference (from the return value of window.open), is still open. Once a window is closed, you should not attempt to manipulate it.

thanks, and sorry for the delay! :)
Thanks for responding and finalizing this; the points appear to have been at zero, so I corrected this to 50, the minimum for easy questions.
