Need to open/close windows with JavaScript
I have the code to open a window with JS but want to know how (if possible) to:
1) Open the window minimized.
2) CAutomatically close the window after a certain number of seconds.
Thanks.

I've never seen a window open minimized. Do you have an example?
Closing is easy, window_name.close()

Put this in the body of your pop-up...
onload="setTimeout('self.close()',5000)"
5000 - 5 seconds by the way.
Only problem here is there is a security(?) feature of IE and possibly NN that prompts the user to allow for the window to close.
here is some more info on this, this example assumes you are closing the window from the parent page:
javascript:window.close()
will close windows without a prompt;
1) if the window was originally opened with JavaScript, or
2) if the window was originally opened with a specified TARGET other than _self.
On "AnotherSite.html": Your Page
On "YourPage.html", there is another link:
Close
This link will close the window because it was opened using TARGET from "AnotherSite.html".
Regarding the minimise window... looking at that now, If I find anything I will get back to you.
