From: GwenP on 29 Sep 2010 08:06 Hi there Anyone know the best way to use DHTML modal windows on a classic asp page? It seems in all examples we open them, then just hide them from the modal page to close them? Does this not just eventually hog memory - my IE has been crashing a lot and I'm not convinced its not due to all my open modal windows that are now just hidden? How do we detect using a javascript function (which opens the windows in the first place) if a dhtml window is already open but just hidden? Many thanks GwenP

This question is not really relevant to asp. All asp does is run on the server and generate html to be sent to the client. Once the client is involved, asp is out of the picture. You will likely get better answers posting to a group devoted to html/dhtml questions (http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33584039). > It seems in all examples we open them, then just hide them from > the modal page to close them? Examples? What examples? I only hide them if I intend to reuse them. They should be closed when no longer needed > Does this not just eventually hog > memory - my IE has been crashing a lot and I'm not convinced its not > due to all my open modal windows that are now just hidden? Try and confirm this with Task Manager > How do we > detect using a javascript function (which opens the windows in the > first place) if a dhtml window is already open but just hidden? > I would assume you would have set a global variable to reference the window when you opened it. If not, change your methodology now. You should create a function Called getModalWindow() that checks to see if the global variable contains a reference to an open window - if(modalvar). If so, return that variable. If not open a new window assigning the result of the open method to the variable and return the variable. In the onclose event, close the window if it is open. -- HTH, Bob Barrows |
