Hi All,
I looked through numerous posts and couldn't find exactly what I am
looking for, so I am posting this. We have a web application that
runs reports. A user needs to run multiple reports at one time. For
example, a user would run a sales report and an employee report. What
I would like to do is have a window that basically says "Generating
report, please wait" for each report that is run. When the report
finishes processing and is returned to the page, I want to close the
respective status window for each report run. If I use
window.opener.c lose(), it will close all of the opener windows. Is it
possible to say window1.name.cl ose(), windows2.name.c lose()? I hope
this makes sense.
TIA
Yes you can do just as you suggest.
Open each window with a given name say matching the report and call it
explicitly to close it
var bWin;
function myWin(){
Win_ = 'toolbar=no, status=yes, dependent, resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes,
height=50, width=60'
if (!bWin) {
bWin = window.open('', 'secWin',Win_)
}
if (bWin.closed) {
bWin = window.open('', 'secWin',Win_)
}
bWin.document.w rite("<br />Processing.. . <br />please wait")
}
This function opens a window with a an html target name of secWin
and an 'internal' javascript name of bWin
if you perform
bWin.close();
in the parent window , the child wil close.
If you modify the code to pass the name bWin in as a parameter, the myWin
function can open any number of windows but will do so only once for each
variable.
Cheers
