problem with window.close()

Martin Nadoll · Dec 5, 2003

Hello,

i want to close a popup-window with the onBlur eventHandler.

function closeIt() {
setTimeout('window.close()',2000); }

<body onBlur="closeIt()">
html
</body>

Problem:
There is a form on my page, and when a input-field gets focus, body looses
focus and the window closes.
That's not what i want. I want to close the window, if focus goes to another
window or application, but not when someone tries to fill that form.

Any idea for me?
Thanks a lot,
Martin Nadoll

In your closeIt() function, capture event.clientX and event.clientY, and
check if the mouse coordinates are within the window's coordinates and
then close it if appropriate.

I hope this is helpful.

Use onFocus event in your main window.
If you opened your pop-up window with newWin = window.open(.....) then
in the main window use
<body onFocus="newWin.close()">
Wnen pop-up looses focus the main window gets it - this is my idea how to
fix the problem.
All the best,
