close pop-up windows on javascript redirect

crmpicco · #1 (**permalink**) 06-15-05, 10:35 AM

I have this JavaScript file called countdown.js.

I add

Code:


<!--#include file="countdown.js"-->
<body onLoad="InitializeTimer();">

to any page that i want the script to run. When it re-directs me to session_logout.asp is there any way that i can close any pop-up windows that have been opened while signed in with this session? I am using ASP sessions as per this code below:

Code:

companyid = Session("companyid")

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">

// Script to warn user when there are sixty seconds of their logout time left
// and then send user to login after eight minutes have elapsed 
<!--
var secs
var timerID = null
var timerRunning = false
var delay = 1000

function InitializeTimer()
{
    // Set the length of the timer, in seconds
    secs = 1740
    StopTheClock()
    StartTheTimer()
}

function StopTheClock()
{
    if(timerRunning)
        clearTimeout(timerID)
    timerRunning = false
}

function redirectFrame(){
    top.location="session_logout.asp?logout=false";
}
	 
function StartTheTimer()

When you create a window, if you create one using javascript, use something similar to:

Code:

var somewindow;
somewindow=window.open('url','name',other properties...);

Then you just have to use the window variable name that you opened and call the close method:

Code:

somewindow.close()

I think that's what you were asking for...
