[Chameleon] Close popups when main window closes

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Okay right, makes sense :-)

So this would only work in a full JSAPI application, or most likely using the AJAX changes Mike Leahy did.

Paul, you once mentioned JSAPI is the way to go for Chameleon in the future. What is your opinion on this now? Are there efforts to integrate Mike's work in the Chameleon core? I might be interested in helping with the actual integration.

Best regards,
Bart

Bart,

Thanks for the link.

I just found out my solution might not be very convenient after all: 
Popups are also closed after a page refresh, i.e. when zooming in. This 
may not be desirable. I think this is going to be a problem for a future 
popup manager as well. Unless a separate Close button is added to the 
application.
