MAXFX OPEN 2nd POPUP CLOSE FIRST SCRIPT

This is quick & dirty scripting, but it works. here we open the first popup window, then we open the second one, and while it loads the first popup closes......

I have included here a short tutorial on how it all works. I just hope that you can figure it all out. Note that the first popup window is slightly offset to show it closing.

Now get the script. click the copy button and paste into a text file....

Open Second, Popup Close First © Copyright 2006 Fred Irving - MaxFx Software www.maxfx.tv ************************************************** This is quick and dirty javascript, but very effective and it works too, though I don't know if it will work in Netscape! ************************************************* Insert into the <BODY> This first button is placed in the parent htm page, pointing to the first popup called , in this instance, 'index-12.htm', making a sized window popup on the center of the page (nearly). <input type=button value=" Open 12 Hour " onClick="window.open('index-12.htm','12hour','scrollbars=1,top=70,left=150,width=57 5,height=500')";> ************************** Tutorage: The script above opens the first window: the first window contains a button to open another window, but we want to close the first window on opening the second window, thus clearing the first window, but we need to give the second window time to load properly before we close the first window. ******************************************************** On the htm page, index-12.htm, we place a button to open 'index-24' and at the same time making a 'setTimeout' to close the index-12.htm page.... The button that opens the second window is thus: <input type="button" value=" Open 24 Hour " onClick="window.open('index-24.htm','24hours','scrollbars=0,top=50,left=200,width=5 75,height=500');setTimeout('self.close()',5000);"> 5000 = 5 seconds, which gives time for the new window to open first, before closing the first window. ****************************
