Detect popup window in IE6

lrlebron

I am using the following to detect if a popup window is already open.
I only want to open a new window if it does not exist or has been
closed.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>

</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" onClick="openMyPage();" VALUE="open MyPage">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The code works correctly in Firefox, but IE6 opens a new window every
time.

Any ideas?

thanks,

Luis

The second argument should be the name (myPage) not a target (_blank).

The second argument should be the name (myPage) not a target (_blank).

And it should be opening a window with the name of "_blank" - which it
is - but IE <gaspgets it right and opens a new blank window each time.

Solution: give it a different name other than _blank.

Also, if you give the window a name the first time it is opened, you do
not have to bother testing to see if the window is still open. Just
request another new window using the same name and any existing window
with the requested name will get reused.
