Window Management

The window is an object, just like any other.  Simply a collection of properties, methods and events.  Since this is true, we can treat it just like any other object, including saving it in a variable.  This gives us control of a new window after it has been loaded.

In the following example, we open a new window using the "window.open( )" method.  We define the size and specifications for the window and then save it in a variable.  This gives us access to the new window's document and therefore everything on that document.

var strFeatures = "top=150, left=250,
   height=300, width=300,"+ "toolbar=no,
   status=no, scrollbars=yes, menubar=no"

var OpenWindow=window.open
   ("","_blank",strFeatures);

We can access the properties of this new window by using the variable "OpenWindow".

OpenWindow.close();
