Close a popup window

[David W. Simmonds]

I have a popup window appear when a user clicks on a hyperlink in a
datalist. I do it like this:

dr[8] = "javascript:mywindow=window.open(" +
"\"GameStats.aspx?Date="+dr[0] + "&Away="+dr[1] + "&Home="+dr[4] + "\"" +
",\"GamesStats\",\"toolbar=no,location=no,director ies=no,menubar=no,resizabl
e=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=640,height=300\");mywin dow.focus();";

dr[8] is a DataRow item that is added to a DataTable that becomes the
DataSource of the DataGrid.

Is there a way to have that window close when the form that caused it to
appear closes?

Using the onunload event of the window object.

window.onunload = ClosePop;
function ClosePop() {
if (mywindow != null) {
if (mywindow != "undefined") {
mywindow.close();
}
}
}

Also, before popping up your window, call ClosePop(). This will assure
that you only have one popup open... assuming you always call your
popup mywindow.
