I've got a knotty problem that just may have no solution, and after
beating my forehead against the wall for most of the day on it, I
thought I'd call in the experts.
I've inherited a web portal application written in Classic ASP for
which I'm the primary developer and sole webmaster. Note that I
said 'inherited', so don't blame me for the design/architecture.
The application is framed, made up of two framesets: the first
frameset is the left menu (made up of two frames, one for the menu
and the other for an instant messaging capability); the second
frameset is a top border, a status bar, and the main window where
99% of the interaction takes place.
My problem is as follows:
There is a new window being opened up by the left menu - from frame
0 of frameset 0 - that is used for an ongoing chatroom.
The logout button for the portal is in the top border bar main
frameset - in frame 0 of frameset 1.
What I need to do is be able to close the window opened in frame 0
of frameset 0 from the logout button code called from frame 0 of
frameset 1 (if I don't close the chatroom window for them, then some
users will continue to try to chat, and unpredictably bad results
occur as their session variables have been cleared by their previous
logout).
Is there a reasonable way to accomplish this without a substantial
redesign of the entire application?
Or do I just need to give up, leave the window open and be content
with performing some background damage control??
Thanks for any help and comments in advance,
Cary
