Does anyone know how to open a window and have it close by itself? You
may ask why, but here it is. I want to have it open (a php script), run
that script, and then close itself.
I have an application that is a huge AJAX framework app. There appears
to be some interaction between that and the mail sending software I
have. I want to send email with a file attached. The software I am
using for that is htmlMimeMail5 (php5). Since I know the parameters, I
simply want to run that php script outside of AJAX, but I don't want to
leave open windows. A quick blast open, send, close is OK.
I know that window.open opens the window and window.close closes it.

Why would you want a window?
You do not need any window to run a server script.

Let's say you have a window A.
It could execute a script to open window B which is pointing at your PHP
script.
Once that PHP script is complete, it can serve a simple HTML page, which
includes a Javascript script to close itself.
But, that means that you have 2 windows, running 2 separate scripts. Not
a very elegant solution.
This task seems perfectly suited to AJAX. I'm surprised that you're
having 'interaction' issues between your AJAX framework and a back-end
PHP script.
It seems more likely that your AJAX framework is simply not sending all
the relevant detail to the PHP script...

Thanks. That is what I was looking for. I didn't know this about
javascript (still learning js).
"You trigger a server-side script by setting any object's URL. For
example a frame, window, or an Image. An image will also "swallow" the
data sent back by the server, so that they will not be visible anywhere."
Thanks.

The code for the email works fine when used in a straight php script. I
am guessing that it is the interaction. I know I had problems with the
interaction when I wanted to use code to write an Excel file. I got
around that by simply having the generator bypass the black box we use
for handling all the AJAX calls. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
