Hi, newbie question.

Have written a web page containing a java applet, some animated gifs and javascript. One of the scripts creates a pop up window using the window.open() call.

What I have noticed is that when I close the pop up the animated gifs freeze. The applet continues to work and the hyperlinks work so I am guessing it is some sort of refresh problem when the page comes back into focus.

As stated, I am new to this so am guessing it is probably a simple problem and would appreciate guidance.

Thxs :confused:

Dave, thanks for coming back.

The only event on the page is the call to the pop up window, the other javascript simply customises the status bar.

Could the problem be because I am not using any sort of close() call? I am closing the pop up by clicking on the close window button. If this is the case where do I put the code in the parent or the child?

Thxs :confused:
