problem with Popup

tgopal · October 27th, 2003, 06:49 AM

Consider i am having an HTML page and i am opening an popup from the HTML page.From the popup i am invoking an small calendar popup to allow the user to choose an date.
My problem is when the user press the Logout button in the main HMTL page i need to automatically close the popup and the calendar popup if they are opened.Now, I can able to close the popup but i can't able to close the calendar popup.Can any one help me how to refer the calendar popup using Javascript from the main HTML page.
Thanks and Regards

I wouls add code to the first popup to close the calendar automatically if it closed. Attach this code to the onunload event in the popup.

Is there any way to communicate the calendar popup from the main page directly, because i have splitted my popup into many frames.

Thanks

In that case when you open the calendar do:

Code:

var oCal = window.open(... //this is line where you open calendar.
window.opener.calendar = oCal

then in your original page when you need to close calendar:

Code:

if (window.calendar)
{
  if (!window.calendar.closed)
  {
    window.calendar.close();
  }
}
