Close window onblur after 30 seconds

KAK · Dec 10, 2001

I know I can close a window onBlur by:

<BODY OnBlur="window.close();">

However, how do I set a timer to only close the window if it has been onBlur for 30 seconds?

Thanks!

put this in you're header tags

<script>
var blurred=false;
function closer() {
if(blurred)
window.close()
}

</script>

this is you're body tag
<body onblur="blurred=true;setTimeout('closer()',3000);" onfocus="blurred=false;">

Thanks!!!

OK, that works great! Now I need help tweaking it. When I give the focus back to the window, it still closes. Is there a way to make it not close if I give focus back to the window before the 30 seconds have elapsed?

Try this:

Code:

<script>
var timeoutID = null;
var timeoutSet = false;
function SetTimeout() {
   timeoutID = window.setTimeout('closer()',3000);
   timeoutSet = true;
}
function ClearTimeout() {
   if ( timeoutSet ) {
      clearTimeout(timeoutID);
      timeoutSet = false;
   }
}
</script>
...
<body onblur=&quot;SetTimeout()&quot; onfocus=&quot;ClearTimeout()&quot;>

I replaced the first suggestion with the second suggestion and not the window won't close at all onBlur. Please help.

Sorry, I got rid of the closer function when I did that too. This should be correct:

Code:

<script>
var timeoutID = null;
var timeoutSet = false;
function SetTimeout() {
   timeoutID = window.setTimeout('window.close()',3000);
   timeoutSet = true;
}
function ClearTimeout() {
   if ( timeoutSet ) {
      clearTimeout(timeoutID);
      timeoutSet = false;
   }
}
</script>
...
<body onblur=&quot;SetTimeout()&quot; onfocus=&quot;ClearTimeout()&quot;>
