Hello.

Is there any way to open specific window only once ?
I have some URL that I want the user to open only one instance of.
I don’t want to use modal window as the user can do other things while window is open.

thanks.

@hyperliskMar 27.2006 — You can do something like this:
<i>
</i>&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;One Instance&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;script language="JavaScript"&gt;
myWin = false;
function doWindow(){
if(!myWin){
myWin = window.open("http://www.nicksscripts.be","");
}
if(myWin.closed){
myWin = window.open("http://www.nicksscripts.be","");
}
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;input type="button" onClick="doWindow()" value="Open the Window"&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

Success!
