This is a function on my parent window that opens up a calendar, and when
the user clicks a date, data gets passed back to a form on the parent
window, and the pop-up window closes:

Function on parent window:
function GetDate(field)
{
	var win = open('../calendar/calendar.asp?field=' +
field,'','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,widt
h=175,height=175,top=300,left=400')
}

Here is another function on the parent window to handle your alert:
function ChildAlert()
{
	alert("You have closed a child window")
}


on the child window, do whatever you need to do, and use the onUnload event:
<body onUnload="top.window.opener.ChildAlert();">

When your child window gets closed by the user, the function ChildAlert() on
your parent window will get called.

Subject: [javascript] alert when opened window finishes.


From one page I have a link that opens a new window with a survey.  The user
fills out the survey, hit's submit and the information is emailed to an
individual in the company.  After that, the new window closes itself.  What
I would like to do is have my parent window recognize that new window was
closed and alert() the user that their information was submitted.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks,

Jerry
