HTML Close window

you need to keep track of all of your windows that you open, then you'll be able to close the ones you want. There's no way to automatically close all child windows without keeping track of them.

Here's a good tutorial that keeps track of the child windows, then a function to close them.

http://www.codelodge.net/2012/11/closing-all-child-windows-using.html

the child ask the parent to close

opener.closeAllButNotMe("myName");

window.closeAllButNotMe = function( dontCloseMeName ) {
    for(windowName in window.windows) {
         if( windowName != dontCloseMeName ) {
                 var windowObj = window.windows[ windowName ];
                 windowObj.close();
         }
    }
}

Select allOpen in new window

when you open a window, you need to save its name and instance
you save this in a global var, in my example it's windows

var name = "login";
window.windows[name] = window.open(url, name, params);

// somewhere else
var name = "otherName";
windows[name] = window.open(url, name, params);

Select allOpen in new window

Hi,

Regarding the following script:

// somewhere else
var name = "otherName";
windows[name] = window.open(url, name, params);

If this for the subsequent windows opened from the child?

if the child open itself window, you need to do the same thing but you talk about main page opening window

Hi,

A Little stuck as I cannot get this code to fire.
windowsclose.txt

yes that can't work, you should try my code

How does your code fit together as tried yours and couldn't get that to work?

Test page : http://fiddle.jshell.net/63qDd/4/show/

I added/created the global object windows : window.windows = {};

What about the Close?

which close? you've a close button on the two child windows to close their brother

I need to be able to close the child windows from the Parent opener.

Ar sorry I see..

At this point you should try to understand the code...

Yes I see just removing the value
