Make page invisible

madlarry · Jun 1, 2004

Hi,

I have an ASP page that searches for customers details and returns the data in a list that the user can select which in turn populates the data into an HTML page that the ASP page is called from (this works fine).

If there is no data I have an alert that is called within the window_onload function to say that 'No Customers Found'.

The problem is that when the alert is displayed the page is also displayed modally behind the alert.

Is there any way to make the page 'invisible' while the alert is displayed?

Thanks,

you could try :

return alert("No Records Found");

Thanks for the suggestion, but this still leaves the page being displayed, and stops the rest of the execution of the window_onload function (which is where the window.close gets called from).

then move the alert out of the window onload event, just place the window.close() script call inline:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script>
alert("Closing Now");
window.close();
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
