the browser can only be open ONE only, no TWO can be open!

var isOpen = false;
function openWindow()
{
window.open(...);
isOpen = true;
}

you can then place some code in the onUnload of the popup that'll set the
parent's "isOpen" to false on close

- or consider assigning a name to the windows - it will basically do the
same

window.open("http://foo.com/", "myWindow");

Hi,

var isOpen = false;
function openWindow()
{
window.open(...);
isOpen = true;
}

you can then place some code in the onUnload of the popup that'll set the
parent's "isOpen" to false on close

Why not use the window handle instead?

var theWindow = null;

function openWindow()
{
theWindow = window.open( ... );
}

then:

if ( theWindow
&& !theWindow.closed )
{
theWindow.close();
theWindow = null;
}


HTH,

good thinking

you can also close()the window and access the closed boolean property.
