I need to open a popup window, which when closed, opens a new pop up window. Then when you close that one another opens.
I'm aware that this functionality can have uses for spam and nag-ware, but I need it for a user experience survey. Don't ask me, it wasn't my idea.
How do you do this?
Popup the first window have an onclose event in the first window that pops-up the second and an onclose event in the second that pops-up first. Have some sort of button on both pages that removes the onclose event so you can escape from it too.
The Javascript in the popup window can access the original window using the opener property.
Handle the onbeforeunload event in each popup window and call a function in the parent window to continue processing (and open the next window).
For example:
(In the original window)
window.onPopupClose = function(popupName) { /* ... */ };
(In each popup window)
<body onbeforeunload="opener.onPopupClose('someName');}> ... </body>
The popupName parameter is just an example, you can do whatever you want (such as having three different functions).
Try :
<body onbeforeunload="javascript:window.open('Default.aspx','nsf','menubar=1,resizable=1,width=350,height=250');">
</body>
