closing parent window - URGENT PLEASE HELP!!!

amutinu · Mar 8, 2002

Hi,
I am new to javascipt and am trying to close my parent window when the child window is closed. Can someone please help me. I really need to fix this by tonight as i have to submit this project to my client tomorrow.

i would really appreciate your help,

thanks,

Kiran

ON PARENT WINDOW:
floater = window.open("child.htm","","&quot

floater.opener = self;

ON CHILD WINDOW:
<SCRIPT FOR=window Event=onunload>
opener.close();
</SCRIPT>

so when i close the child window, i want the parent to close as well.

Thanks snt,
I did that and now it's asking me to confirm the close. Is there a way to bypass this confirmation?

Thanks for your help
