Proper JavaScript Window Management?

Let's say you have a script.

for example

// ==/UserScript==

clix();

function clix() {

  //generate random number

  x = getRandomInt(1, 20)

  y = getRandomInt(1, 28);

  clixdo(x, y);

}

function getRandomInt(min, max) {

  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;

}

Where clixdo is javascript for window.open( url + x + y )

How would you go about managing the windows, and properly closing them?

What about with a given time interval. (page needs to load another page and wait x time)

Given the code could be changed to new_window = window.open( some url ) and could be added to an array.

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but if you're trying to send web requests you could just use XML.

function httpGet(theUrl)

{

    var xmlHttp = null;



    xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

    xmlHttp.open( "GET", theUrl, false );

    xmlHttp.send( null );

    return xmlHttp.responseText;

}

Not the best with JS so couldn't help you with waiting functions, everytime i tried writing one it just froze my browser :x

Thanks

I did learn something from your snippet there.

I'm not sure if it'll work through web-requests though, but it's worth a shot.

page has to load another and do an ad-timeout to be valid.

I am pretty sure, but I may be wrong, that when you open a window, it returns a window object.

var myNewWindow = window.open("whatever")

To manage that window, you would use myNewWindow. You can store it in whatever variable or array of variables that you want.



I believe there are also window names that work something like:
window.open("url", "myWindowName")

such that you can reference:
window.myWindowName.close(), etc.



That markup may be incorrect, as I don't ever use windows ever. Popup blockers kinda killed the window.open() usefulness, and I don't oppose that.

This would be correct.

But, I'm more curious about the implications of running multiple windows. That's the real problem.

Where's the problem? You can have multiple windows. It just takes multiple variables or window names.

myWindows[myWindows.length] = window.open("etc")
