onFocus error

Benjer · Mar 22, 2002

Hi,
Firstly hello as this is my first post. I've just started using javascript and have built a pop up window test for two windows. So have code on 3 pages. The 1st pop up is flash and u click the far right button and then more>> to get the next pop up.
Hopefully my flash detect should work, so i've included a pop up link on my "no flash" page.
Works well. slightly odd when opens 2nd pop up. BUt when i close both i get a javascript error. Any help on any of these issues would be much appreciated.
url of error:

Code:

function FocusMe1()
{
    if(!window.window1){
	}
	else {setTimeout(&quot;window1.focus()&quot;,10);
	
	}
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body onFocus = &quot;FocusMe1()&quot;

regards

Code:

function FocusMe1() {
 if (window.window1 && !window1.closed)
  setTimeout(&quot;window1.focus()&quot;, 10);
}

I'm not quite sure why, but if you close a window its reference variable is still there. You have to test if it's

Code:

.closed

in order to know if it's been closed.

Hi, thanks.
I ended up using a similar test:
function FocusMe1()
{
if(!window.window1){
}
else if(window1.closed){
}
else{setTimeout("window1.focus()",10);
}
}
still get a strange debug error on pc... but no actual listing in the debugger.
