    problem with window.close()

    Hello,

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

    function closeIt() {
    setTimeout('win dow.close()',20 00); }

    <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,
          Gennadiy
