I don’t know if it’s in the bug database yet - but on Mac (using Safari 4.0.3 and Firefox) you can open non-modal windows just fine - but if you issue the application.closeFormInDialog[windowName] - it doesn’t work.

Should it?

I’m building an app that spawns child windows and when you close the parent, I want to also close the children (like it does by default in the Smart Client)…

Thanks!

i dont think we have full support for this  
It will not close all child windows of 1 parent

And are you calling close window from that window itself? or from another window?

Same issue in 4.1.4.

I’m creating a form instance (using application.createFormInstance) - showing a FID - giving the window the same name as the form (they are all unique).

Then I have a button that just uses application.closeFormDialog(windowName). I give it the name of ANY non-modal window - and the web client just refuses to close it - no matter what.

Works beautiful in the Smart (same code) - so I know the code is closing the right window(s).

as i said we dont support that. (if all situations are possible in the browser that has to be first investigated)

please make a case.

Support for application.closeFormDialog() for non modal dialogs in web client has been added ( will be present in 4.1.5 and 5.0 beta3 ). A non modal dialog can be closed from its parent or from itself.
