How to tell if a window exists in Javascript?
I've seen ways of seeing if a window a particular script opened is still opened, but what if it didn't?
I have a small window that has a button to click to load the large window. When I close the large one, I want a particular onUnload
or onBeforeUnload
to fire iff the small one is closed; if it's still open, those procedures will not fire. I may be having simply a massive brain fart but I c开发者_开发问答an't figure out how to check if the other window is open. The big one isn't opening it, so I can't simply record the handle from opening it.
In shorter terms: If window A opened window B, how can I check within window B if window A still exists?
if(window.opener && !window.opener.closed)
alert('Yup, still there.');
window.closed
will be set to true if you popped a window and it was closed (by script or user).
var win = window.open('...')';
if (win.closed)
Your case seems to be the following:
From a popup window, you can check if the window that opened it is still open using window.opener.closed
Get handle to a window by name
I mentioned there's no way to just get the window handle by name in the comments. However, I did some research and found that the following works in FF/IE/Chrome; it's a hack, I didn't see it mentioned anywhere as the expected behavior, so I wouldn't rely on it too much, but it was fun to find it works! In my code, I would still just make sure to pass around the required handles.
//opened a window without storing a handle, but gave it a name
window.open('/some/url', 'xxx');
// now I need to get a reference to that window
// Calling open without setting a url gets you
// a reference and doesn't reload the window
var win = window.open('', 'xxx')
Use try{} and catch(err){}.
try{
window.opener.document.body.getElementById('#elementId'); // do some action with window. opener
}
catch(err){
// if we are here then probably there is no window.opener
window.close(); // closing this window or whatever you want
}
Try the following code:
if (!!window) {
console.log('Exist');
}
