Popup Window Detection and Close Button Activation

andrewkooi

Greetings,

I do not know whether such code exist but no harm asking:

Is it possible for me to make visible a close button if the active
window is a popup window or a new window (other than the main window)?

What I mean is this:

If the present window is the main window, then the close button should
not be visible on the page. Otherwise, the close button should be made
visible and active (i.e. can be clicked to close the window).

Any help is much appreciated.

All windows have a "close" button anyway. That X that the top right.

Check opener property of the current window.

for example:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function(){
if (window.opener)
document.getElementById("btnClose").style.visibili ty="visible";
}
</script>

document.getElementById("btnClose").style.visibili ty="visible";
}
</script>

This code appeared to work fine in IE6 but does not work in NS7, or
even the latest versions of Opera and Mozilla. Any ideas how to
resolve this?

Thanx.

This code works also in gecko-based browser (my default browser is not IE
but Firefox).
Try this page, for example:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<style type="text/css">
#btnClose{margin-top:8px;display:block;visibility:hidden;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function(){
if (window.opener)
document.getElementById("btnClose").style.visibili ty="visible";
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<button onclick="window.open(window.location.href)">open a popup</button>

<button id="btnClose" onclick="window.close()">you are in a
<strong>popup</strong> window.<br />Click this button to close.</button>

</body>
</html>

(tested on FF)

You asked that a few hours before, and my answer is still the same.
It is inappropriate to re-post within such a short amount of time
only because no one replied to date. Especially on Google Groups
postings take time to be archived, since it is only an archive of
