Child Windows

siuk · Jan 4, 2002

Hi,

Does anyone know the correct code for closing a child window? I want to be able to close the child window on the unload event of its parent window. But i cant seem to get it working. Here is some code:
----------------------------------------
Parent Window
----------------------------------------
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function loadit()
{
var url = 'banner.htm';
var x = window.open(url,'statuswin1','height=50,width=160,scrollbars=no,toolbar=0,titlebar=0');
}

function flush()
{
newwin.document.thefunction();
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body onunload="flush();">
-------------------------------------------------
Child Window:
-------------------------------------------------
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function thefunction()
{
self.close();
}
</SCRIPT>
-------------------------------------------------

Thanks for any help!

1. you open a window, named x & trying to close a window, named newwin (as far as i see) it have to be working this way..

2. try just to close your child window from its parent (like

<script>
onunload=function(){x.close();}
</script>
