Javascript: How to get a list of all open windows
javascript, window
Solution
So the questions is closed, I'll post an answer based on the comments and research.
Firstly, to all who commented, thank you for helping.
Answer: There is not a built-in object which tracks opened windows and persists from page load to page load.
As Felix Kling pointed out, using localStorage is a possible work-around.
Problem
Suppose you open a handful of windows with: ``` window.open(url1,'win1'); window.open(url2,'win2'); window.open(url3,'win3'); ``` (each window has a unique name) And then you refresh the page. The 3 popup windows are still open. Is there a way to list the names of all of the open windows and close them? This is not a duplicate question. In this question the browser is being refreshed, so you cannot simply use a global array to keep track of child windows. This is not a duplicate question.
