Check if this works for you.....

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;><!--
function openWindow() {
if (!window.window2) {
// has not yet been defined
window2 = window.open('apage.html','windowRef','width=100,height=100');
}
else {
// has been defined
if (!window2.closed) {
// still open
window2.focus();
}
else {
window2 = window.open('apage.html','windowRef','width=100,height=100');
}
}
}

openWindow()

sajuks, ur method wont work as whenever the page is refreshed variable window2 will be set to null therefore the new window will open. i dont think there is a way to overcome that problem (other than cookies)...

Hi vbkris,
It should work if am using a frameset, its a workaround.
True this wont work if am not using a frameset as mentioned in the url which i've posted.
I checked it out.
Regards

even if its a frameset it wont work as the refresh button (in ur IE toolbar) will refresh the entire frame, only a right click will refresh the selected frame...

is it possible to do a onUnload event in the new opened window so that he don't reload it?

like i said the only option is to use cookies, create a cookie when the window is opened, check if the cookie is active, if yes open the new window, else dont open it, in the popup window in its onunload event destroy the cookie...
