Close a pop-up window when closing another.

MikeWiz628 · Jan 14, 2003

First, I have a button that the user can click on and it opens a small pop-up window with some info inside.

What I want, is when the main window is closed, it closes the pop-up window as well.

What I had tried was putting is <body onunload=window.close('popup.aspx','popwindow')....

Is this possible? Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

If you open the window, by assigning the reference to a variable, ie:

\\be sure this guy has page scope
var x;

x = window.open(...);

then you can just call:

x.close();

in some body onUnload event
