Can I hide a pop-Up window I am developing an intranet application, in which, in some pages, when the user selects an option, I am using a pop-up window to retrieve the data and displaying it in the main page. The pop-up opens, fetches data, puts in main page and closes itself.
Since the user is not interacting with the pop-up, I would prefer it to be hidden. Can this be done ? I checked a Javascript book, which says the 'alwaysLowered' property can be used to send the pop-up behind other windows but this is a security feature and available only for signed scripts.
My Questions are:
1. Can the pop-up be hidden ?
2. What is a signed script ?

It depends on the way your creating the window. I'm sure there are many ways to do it. If I remeber correctly you can do it via this method:
Hope this helps you.
var win = new PopupWindow();
win.showPopup();
win.setUrl("http://www.site.com");
win.hidePopup();
Hope this helps you.

Sorry, it's not working. I am getting the error
"PopupWindow is undefined"
Here's the code (with what I was using earlier)
"PopupWindow is undefined"
Here's the code (with what I was using earlier)
var newWindow ;
var v_Options;
var v_Bars;
v_Bars = 'directories=no, location=no, menubar=no, status=no,titlebar=no,toolbar=no';
v_Options = 'scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,Height=10,Width=10,left=100,top=100,visible=false,alwaysLowered=yes';
//newWindow = window.open("Popdata.htm",'PrintWin',v_Bars + ',' + v_Options);
newWindow = new PopUpWindow() ;
newWindow.showPopup();
newWindow.setURL("Popdata.htm");
newWindow.hidePopup(); •

Actually, opening a hidden window is on the list of operations forbidden for security reasons.
But there is nothing to prevent you from putting it under something. It still shows on the taskbar.
