child page remain, main to close

I have a main page that pops up a child page. I would
like the main page to close once the child page is open.
Using this.close(); at the moment but
a) this propmpts the user with a confirmation window
b) this operation closes both the main and the child
windows

is ther some code, or a function in frontpage that will
enable me to have the main page closed once the child has
popped up?

thanks,

Tom
 
Add this to the opening body tag for the page that you want to close:

onblur="parent.close; 'return.false;'"

So that the body tag looks like this:

<body onblur="parent.close; 'return.false;'">

Note that there is both a ' and a" at the end: '"

Parent.close() in the child window and it will give the user a prompt.

Thanks for this. Did as instructed but parent page failed
to close. Parent page html is:

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>Click here</title>
<script>

//Modeless window script- By DynamicDrive.com
//for full source code and terms of use
//visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com

function modelesswin(url,mwidth,mheight){
if (document.all&&window.print) //if ie5
eval('window.showModelessDialog
(url,"","help:0;resizable:1;dialogWidth:'+mwidth+'px;dialo
gHeight:'+mheight+'px")')
else
eval('window.open
(url,"file:///Z:/Form/Test/partnersearch.htm","width='+mwi
dth+'px,height='+mheight+'px,resizable=1,scrollbars=1")')
}

modelesswin
("file:///Z:/Form/Test/partnersearch.htm",800,800)

</script>

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>


partnersearch.htm has your script in the body tag.

Hi sorry for my mistake. I have now put your script into
the body tag of the parent file (the one i want to
close) - see below. However it still does not want to
close.

Thanks. T

<body onblur="parent.close; 'return.false;'">

Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but the following links are incorrect:
(url,"file:///Z:/Form/Test/partnersearch.htm","width='+mwi
Click to expand...
and
("file:///Z:/Form/Test/partnersearch.htm",800,800)

It needs to go in the child page. The initial page doesn't have parents.

Incorrect?

they came from a script I am using to produce a modeless
window and point to a file on my local drive. The child
page is a modeless window, I wonder if this is the
problem?

regards,

Ok.

If the web is going to be published to a server the links won't work.
If it is going to be run on an intranet they "probably" will work.
