I did a script for someone a while ago (may even have been this list) who
wanted to open a non-closing window. I came up with something which tests
whether the window os open or not using a timeout and the closed property
of the window. Here's the code:
This is the page which opens the window:
<html>
<head><title>Untitled</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
// set globals for window object, close switch, and timeout
var reopen;
var closeMe = 0;
var newWin = window.open("blank.htm","blank","width=100,height=100");
function checkClosed(){
//check to see if the pop-up has been closed
if(newWin.closed){
//if it has been closed, check to see how it was closed
if(closeMe){
//if this switch is set, break out of the loop
clearTimeout(reopen);
return;
}
//switch is not set, so the user has closed the window with
//the close(X) button - re-open the window!
newWin = window.open("blank.htm","blank","width=100,height=100");
}
//window is still open, so check again in a little while
reopen = setTimeout("checkClosed();",100);
}
checkClosed();
</script></head>
<body>
</body>
This is the page which loads in the new window (blank.htm)
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script>
function Closeme(){
// this toggles the switch to indicate the window has been closed
// using the button (rather than the window control)
window.opener.closeMe = 1;
self.close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onClick="Closeme()" value="close">
</body>
</html>
I think you could adapt this to suit your needs without too much trouble.
