Possible JavaScript?

[mti07]

I have a situation where I would like to use JavaScript w/ ASP.NET,
however I am not sure if what I want to do is possible.

I have a web application that can deploy multiple windows. Basically,
When a window times out, if it has a parent window, I need to either
close that parent window or redirect that parent window to another
page. The parent window in most cases was created with javascript,
however I do have an instance where the parent window was not created
with javascript.

Is this even possible to do?

Thanks

Hi,

Try something like this:
Let the 'pop-up' windows time-out, eg by counting the seconds the page has
no interaction, and when that period is over, they can send a signal to the
parent, using opener-keyword.
eg: in popup:
// timeout occured
opener.ITimedOut("popup12");

Then let the opener simply close itself or whatever suits your needs
(reload).
But remember that windows that are NOT opened by JS will not close by a JS
window.close(); command. Or at least ask it to the human first. ;-)
