[thelist] One popup window, different sizes

[VOLKAN ÖZÇELİK]

Just out of a hurry to work and didn't look at the code closer but

can window.close property be an answer

var popWin = window.open(whatever);

if(typeof(popWin)!="undefined"&&popWin.closed){
    doStuff
}
else {
   doOtherStuff
}

HTH,
Volkan.

> Hi all-

> I have some flash content (3 different swf's) that I'd like to display in

> Alternatively, I'd be happy to close the current popup window and reopen it
> with the dimensions of the new swf, and I've worked out a script that seems
> to work dandy in IE/win and Firefox, but is failing miserably in Safari with
> the error "Value undefined (result of expression popWin.close) is not
> object."
>
> I have a suspicion I'm not the first person to want to do this, does anybody
> have a suggestion to improve this script, or any alternative approach?
