What is the code to automatically close a window and automatically open another window?

you know the 'search' tool for the forums can be pretty nifty at times.

Kinda discusses it guess it isn't exact though more like open and close rather than close and open...

thanks for the silent chastisement Dave

wasn't exactly in the best mood when I answered this, sorry heddle.

The code is this:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function openwindow() {
newWindow = window.open("blah.html","def","height=300,width=300")
}
function closewindow() {
window.close()
}
-->
</script>
</head>
<body onload="closewindow()" onunload="openwindow()">
</body>
</html>

enjoy

Nope not what I was doing

I read every post(even when you folks lose me

) and just did not remember it, therefore I was not sure if "search" would have helped at all.

...back to my corner

haha well I probably would not have remembered it either except for the fact that writing that little code took some time to think and work through to get it to work (hence is why I'm pretty good with pop-ups now

). So that one came head first into my mind and I thought I had covered is close enough. But in reality I didn't really(unless he knows somewhat was he's donig with javascript), so it was good I posted it here.
