    Close specific parent window

    Hi All,

    I looked through numerous posts and couldn't find exactly what I am
    looking for, so I am posting this. We have a web application that
    runs reports. A user needs to run multiple reports at one time. For
    example, a user would run a sales report and an employee report. What
    I would like to do is have a window that basically says "Generating
    report, please wait" for each report that is run. When the report
    finishes processing and is returned to the page, I want to close the
    respective status window for each report run. If I use
    window.opener.c lose(), it will close all of the opener windows. Is it
    possible to say window1.name.cl ose(), windows2.name.c lose()? I hope
    this makes sense.

    TIA

      Yes you can do just as you suggest.

      Open each window with a given name say matching the report and call it
      explicitly to close it

      var bWin;

      function myWin(){
      Win_ = 'toolbar=no, status=yes, dependent, resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes,
      height=50, width=60'

      if (!bWin) {
      bWin = window.open('', 'secWin',Win_)
      }
      if (bWin.closed) {
      bWin = window.open('', 'secWin',Win_)
      }
      bWin.document.w rite("<br />Processing.. . <br />please wait")
      }

      This function opens a window with a an html target name of secWin
      and an 'internal' javascript name of bWin

      if you perform
      bWin.close();

      in the parent window , the child wil close.

      If you modify the code to pass the name bWin in as a parameter, the myWin
      function can open any number of windows but will do so only once for each
      variable.

      Cheers

      Ron
