Close Window Code

Nov 15.2007

Hello,
My question is concerning this website: [URL=”http://www.jstreet.org”]http://www.jstreet.org[/URL]
If you go here and click on “Click here for playlist,” you will get a pop-up window with a Finetune.com playlist. The concern with this pop-up is, people no longer need to keep the jstreet.org site open to listen to that playlist. Is there a JavaScript code that can close a pop-up window when the original site’s main window is closed? This will assure that the jstreet.org window stays open while a user listens to the playlist.

@visual84authorNov 15.2007 — Great!...now if you can tell me where I might place this in my html, I'll be set! Also, right now I have the pop-up opening with a behavior, do I need to change this?

@Wisest_GuyNov 15.2007 — You can put this anywhere in your page that opens the popup window, just make sure you assign the window to a variable when you create it.
[code=html]
<SCRIPT>
window.onunload = function(){
if (WhateverVariableYourPopupIs){WhateverVariableYourPopupIs.close();}
}
</SCRIPT>
[/code]

I'm not sure what you mean by assign it to a variable. Sorry, I'm not too familiar with code yet. And will I need to change the behavior I have assigned to the link?

@Wisest_GuyNov 15.2007 — Change this:
[CODE]
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
[/CODE]
To this:
[CODE]
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
PlaylistWindow = window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
window.onunload = function(){
if (PlaylistWindow){PlaylistWindow.close();}
}
[/CODE]
