store javascript value from window.open in session variable

[Guest]

hi al

i have "variab1 = window.open ("a.aspx", "helloworld");

i do this inside a RegisterStartupScrict ("key", "<script language=javascript>******</script>"); where ***** is hte javascript comman

i need to access variab1 from some other forms (to close it from another link from the parent's parent's parent's page). i figured out that the best way to do this is to store this javascript variable in a session variable

now comes the golden question. "How can I save a javascript variable in a session variable?

thanks

It seems that you mix server- and client-side code in your discourse.
A javasript code will be executed on client-side, whereas the session
variable accessible mainly on server-side.

use a hidden frame to post the value back., though keeping the handle valid
will be difficult if any of the pages in the chain postback.

a better approach is to have each child window register itself with its
parent, who regiters the window with its parent, etc.

Thanks for the response..

I just need to close all child windows (and all grandchildren windows if i may put it that way) when i click on a button the FIRST window that is the head of all the child windows. What I had thought of was putting all the handles of all the child windows in an array stored in a session variable, and then later writing a loop that will close the windows represented by the elements of the array

I understand from your message that handles themselves are valid only till a postback, and in my application, every page goes through lots of postback before hte parent will close them, which implies that my method will not work

I will appreciate it if anyone can suggest some way I can implement what I want

You said something about registering a child with its parent by itself. What did you mean? Please elaborate. Thanks..
