AV1611 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I need a clause in a script that if it's false, the window displays a message for a few seconds then the browser popup closes, but if it's false, the page continues loading...I'm doing this, but it's a bad idea, and doesn't give the pause first...optionally, can window.close be delayed?Here is what I am currently doing...//code:IF ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result0)) { $_SESSION['auth']='auth'; $_SESSION['UserID']=$UserID; $_SESSION['pass']=$pass; } ELSE { print "SORRY, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO CLONE PARTS"; echo '<BODY onLoad="window.close()">'; }echo "<body>"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV1611 Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 I changed to this and it a little better, but it's still hokey...//code:IF ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result0)) { $_SESSION['auth']='auth'; $_SESSION['UserID']=$UserID; $_SESSION['pass']=$pass; } ELSE { print "SORRY, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO CLONE PARTS"; echo "<BODY onLoad=\"alert('Invalid Password');window.close()\">"; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Use a meta-refresh tag and set the time delay (5 sec inthe example). ELSE{print "SORRY, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO CLONE PARTS";echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='5; url=gotothispage.php'>";} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV1611 Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 Barand, that is what I used to do, but the parent page of the popup is not the page I want it to go to. In other words, the main menu opens up a new browser that open up the popup. what that did is load the main page in a child from the starting page... I actually want to close the popup AND the child so you are back to the parent browser and main menu...Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 You could use javascript's setTimeout() to call window.close after a specified time period.eg<BODY onload='setTimeout("window.close()", 5000);'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
