Hiding Parent window

1 New Member
Hi,
I am trying to open a new window from an existing HTML file. I want to hide the parent window and view only the child window and bring back the parent window on some flag setting. How can this be done?

Welcome to TSDN!

This shouldn't be possible, though you could try to achieve by setting focus to the child window whenever the user tries to focus on the parent window.

It seems that you want some kind of modal property. You could try using a div instead which always has focus and appears on top of the content.
