onblur="top.close()" Mick WAH! It's not working, Mick. The top frame body tag is now <body onblur="parent.close()" leftmargin="8" topmargin="2" marginwidth="8" It's at http://www.coolcats.com/flash.html, thanks! |

Works for me. What browser are you using? Mick Wow, no kidding! I'm using IE 6.0.2800.1106 and Firefox 0.8 on Win2000 |
Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing: If a viewer
opens the popup window form the link at
http://www.coolcats.com/flash.html and then loses focus on the popup,
I want it to close. And you are seeing this happen?
I've seen IE break in several places on different computers, maybe
this is one of those times. Thanks again!

What he was saying that "parent.close()" is not the same thing as
"top.close()". The latter is what he said to use, but you are using the
former.
Now, that said, if you click on the top frame of the popup window, it will
then work. This is just another case of frames being a morass of grief. The
frame cannot "blur" until it gets focus.

changing the wrong ones. I now have top.close, but it still fails for
me in both browsers. However, I can view source on the top frame
(opens in Notepad) and, when I close Notepad, it also closes the
popup; but if I just view the popup and then put focus on the original
window, the popup remains.
I hear what you are saying about the particular frame needing focus,
but it's just not working from here...but thanks for pointing out
that, that's a very good point I hadn't considered. Frames seemed
harmless enough in this circumstance, but I'm spending a lot of time
trying to get them to behave. I think I'll ditch the frames, thanks!

The reason why it worked after viewing the source is that you had to
have given it focus to view the source. ;-) The frames just add another
level of complexity, without any real benefit here. I think you've made
a wise decision and your close routine should function properly now.
