Re: How to recognize the 'last' window?

[Gordon McComb <gmccomb@ix.netcom.com>]

Off the top of my head: If you open the window and pass it a name, like this:

        window.open ("blah.html", "win1");

then it will have a name.  You can test for the name with

        if (window.name !="")
                 you're in the top window

Top level windows created when the browser first opens or with File, New
Browser never have a name.  This methd  not close *all* open windows except
one, but it should be useful for closing all windows opened by you.
