Timeout of windows spawned using window.open

I use the window.open javascript command in several of my ZEN applications. I would like the window spawned by window.open to timeout when the original window, that spawned the secondary window, times out. Thank you for all input.

Hi.

You could do that with the following way

1. Define your own custom event class (inherit from %CSp.SessionEvents)  then you may interact with the session creation/deletion:
2. In OnStartSession() callback in the event class, you may store the sessionId in your own global/table.
3. In OnEndSession() callback in the event class you may delete/kill your own data.
4. Pass the SessionId from the parrent window to the child (if you do not have it there already)
5. Have a timeout JS code to call the server using #server or #call every x sec. with a check of your own global/table for this SessionId.
If not exist - preform a "windowsClose" or a in-window message...

Here is more documentation abourt it :
