Close Javascript Window by DJeX on 03-04-2005 at 02:53 AM

How would I close a JavaScript popup window with the name upload?

I know window.close() closes the current window your on but I need to close a window called upload.

I need to close it because after my upload code is done I need to close the upload indicator screen. Which is a popup that says Uploading when you start the upload. It needs to be close automatically when the upload is done.


P.S. Thank you all for anwsering my past 3 questions. I know they may sound stupid or noobish but that’s because I’m still learning. You have been a big help. When I’m done I will surely post a link to my site that I’m working on so you can see where all your hard work went to. :P

you need to open the window into a varible like so:

    uploadWindow = window.open( parameters )

then, use this to close the window:

    window.close(uploadWindow)

im a little rusty with js, so im not sure if that exact script works...

If that doesn't work, try uploadWindow.close()

code:
<script>
   var newwindow = '';
   
   function popitup(url)
   {
      if (!newwindow.closed && newwindow.location)
   {
      newwindow.location.href = url;
   }
   else
   {
      newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=200,width=150');
      if (!newwindow.opener) newwindow.opener = self;
   }
      if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
         return false;
   }
</script>

<body onLoad="popitup('upload.html')">

   <a href="#" onClick="javascript:popitup('javascript:window.close()')">close</a>

</body>
