hi

i want to create a modal window that contains some message, and will be automatically closed when the parent window’s page change

ie I have a main window. I want to call another window from the main window. This second window should be modal. THe main window is doing some processing and after the processing has finished it will automatically reload itself to another page. The second modal window should close itself when the main window’s page changes.

how do i do it?

any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

a modal pop-up window is, when called, users won't be able to interact with the calling window until the modal pop-up window is closed.

normal pop-up window enables users to interact with any of the window freely.

Just like clicking on file>print in microsoft word.. where u won't be able to edit the word document until u have closed the print window. The print window is an example of modal window.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

@felgallSep 06.2005 — Each browser provides different support regarding modal popups.

IE has a proprietary call to open a modal window that is a proper modal window.

Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape add modal=yes to the normal window.open to force the new window to stay in front of the opener (but not to make it really modal).

Opera doesn't support modal windows.

To make a window close when someone selects a link on the page just add onclick="self.close()" to each link on the page.

Success!
