Open and close windows

[JohnBi]

Hello to every body.

From the index page (window 1) I open a pop-up (window 2)which open another pop-up (window 3).

The link on window 2 to open window 3 is:
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="window.open('events/even_frame.htm','mywindow','top=0,left=0,width=800,height=600,toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,copyhistory=yes,resizable=yes');opener.opener=opener; opener.close(); self.close();"><font color="#FF0000">Veranstaltungen - calendario eventi - events</font></a

And it is OK.

However if I click on a link on window 3 which open window 1 again and repeat the procedure as above, all windows are closed, while I want window 3 to remain open.
Any help please? Where am I wrong.

Thanks and regards
John

Gosh, for a moment there I thought Tek Tips was wacked out, the Message box was nowhere to be seen. When you post code, use the Tecumsah markup tags for code.

onClick="window.open('events/even_frame.htm','mywindow','top=0,left=0,width=800,height=600,toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,copyhistory=yes,resizable=yes');opener.opener=opener;

The reason the windows disappear when you load a new page into Window 1 might be because Window 3 belongs to (is part of, is a child of) Window 2 which is part of Window 1. If you replace the page in Window 1 maybe that entails replacing all of the parts of the document in Window 1.

There is some question as to whether the parent-child relationship between the windows is a property of the Window or of the document in the Window.

Have you tried parent.window_two.location = 'url' instead of window.open('url')?

Thanks for your suggestion, however seems not working.
It might be that my knowledge of js are quite limited, so ....

Regards

Remove this:

opener.opener=opener; opener.close(); self.close();

and your windows will no longer close.

Hope this helps,
Dan
