Close Popup on specific page(s)?

twb716 · #1 Mar 29, 2012, 07:53 AM

I have "borrowed" the following code to open a popup window for an audio player ONLY on the front page:

========
<?php if (is_front_page()) { ?>

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">

</SCRIPT>

</head>

<body onLoad="popup('http://www.xxx.com/rms/wp-content/uploads/rave/index.html', 'ad')">
</body>

<?php } ?>

========

I have inserted it in the loop. My question:

How to I get the same popup window to close on specific pages? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

are you saying the popup shows up on every page?

The popup is only triggered by the front_page. It's a way for me to have an audio player that auto-starts when a user hits the home page, but doesn't stop playing when the user switches pages.

The problem is that on the "Video" page for example, I want the popup to go away. Make sense?

1) I hate popups or video/audio that start automatically
2) The popup is now seperate page and I'm unaware of how you can have one page make another one go away. Maybe is a jscript, but I'd be willing to guess not

1) Most people hate things like this- it was a client request and went against my recommendation
2) Thanks for the feedback- I'll keep researching.
