@mrochaauthorAug 11.2008 — #i have a webpage, and i open the same web page in popup, so the function will run again in the page that opens, and again, and again.....
@xZelAug 11.2008 — #I actually thought about this. You could set a cookie value so before the pages are opened, and when the pages are opened, they could check the cookie to see if they should open 4 popups.
@Declan1991Aug 11.2008 — #I'm not certain which is the property, but there should be a window.opener. Check if window.opener is equal to null, and if it is, run the function. Else, don't.
@toicontienAug 11.2008 — #Or, create a cookie in the pop up window. If the cookie doesn't exist, run the function. When the function finishes running, create a cookie. The next time the page loads the function won't run if the cookie exists.

I dunno, thats not an exactly elegant way of doing it. Declans approach could be as simple as putting in:
@toicontienAug 11.2008 — #That all depends on how the function should be run once. If it should only be run one time after the window opens, and never again until the window reopens, then Dclan's approach is best. If you want it to only open once per browsing session, or only once period (never again), then you'll need to use cookies.
