Hello Everyone,
I've got some JavaScript that works well in Firefox to pop up a window... then when a link is clicked inside of the window, the pop-up is closed, the parent page is re-freshed and the offset/scrollbar of the parent page stays the same after re-freshing.
In IE, however, the pop-up does not close but the parent page re-freshes (but does not hold the same page position). Wondering if there is something I could add to make the pop-up window close in IE as well to make the script more browser compatible.
Current Code:
function close_this_window(){
//sets $pageoffset which makes parent page re-load
//and have the scrollbar rest in same position rather
//than starting back up at top of the page
$pageoffset = window.opener.document.body.scrollTop;
window.opener.location.reload();
window.opener.document.body.scrollTop = $pageoffset;
window.close();
return false;
}
//AJAX stuff etc etc then the following:
$.post('process.php', $("#myform").serialize(), function(data) {
$('#results').html(data);
if (data == "success") {
close_this_window();
}
});
trying to end the Ajax request with the close_this_window() function but not getting IE to be able to close pop up window.
Anyone know what could be preventing it from closing in IE?

Where is the code that opens the popup window? I tried the popup code here I don't see a problem on IE, what I did I created a popup window and then used the close_this_window() function. Other than declaring the $pageoffset var before using it, I could not see a problem. The popup was closed as expected.
Any js errors that show up when you run it on IE?
