Javascript problem
I'm creating a small dictionary for the same pages that I had a problem with yesterday (thanks to both vulken and lloyd for the help by the way...) now I want to open a certain html-file in a new window, and thought this was a good way to do it... a problem is that when the users dont use the close window button, they will get up to 41 windows opened... and I doubt they want that
So when the mainpage unloads, I want the other windows to close automaticly. I want to do this with a for-statement, but I dont get it to work... its the msg+i.close(); that is the problem of course... can someone please tell me how Im supposed to write the statements in the for-statement (*phew* ) ?
This is how I call the functions in the body:
code:
<p onClick="winopen(1); return true;">Absorberad dos</p> . . . <p onClick="winopen(41); return true;">Undantaget kolli</p>[/code] ----- This is the javascript in the head of the document:code:function winopen(z) { m = "msg" + z; sida = "ord/" + z + ".htm"; wind = "win" + z; m=open(sida,wind,"width=300,height=200"); } function closewin() { for (var i = 0; i < 42; i++) { msg[i].close(); } }[/code] ------------------ ./mdk [This message has been edited by mdk (edited 25 November 1999).] [This message has been edited by mdk (edited 25 November 1999).]

Your code looks like it should work. Best thing to do is give us a URL so we can check it out further.

Ok... managed to get both telnet and ftp access (after 6 months they actually starts to trust me - amazing! )
so now the page is on:
http://www.carlsberg.nu/mdk/index.htm
its totally IE5 at the moment (should work in ie4 too though), but not very well in Netrape...
To explain a bit... the "links" on the page is different words in a dictionary... the four input boxes is just there for debugging, so to speak
The first word uses its own external openwin() function, but I of course want them all to use the same function... the reason the first word ("Absorberad dos") has its own, is that the for-statement works with that windows, but not with the others...
I changed the for-statement a bit... now it almost works anyway...
