How to persist the array in Javascript

[Uppala Srinivas]

I have a web page where a member can open up a child window
- From there the member can also navigate to other web pages.
- From other pages in the site, they may also open up new child window
- Each window page is opened with the different name as the window name.
- When I log off from the web page, I would like all the chat windows to automatically close.

I have tried to create an array to store the window references from the created chats but the problem is that once I navigate to a different page, the array is not persisted (as per the Javascript memory scope).

Please advise me.

Can we use hidden fields considering the scenario?

That array of window names is really an array of objects. You can hold a text version of that object.

If you really do not care about bookmarkability of your site, you can always use frames. parent frame holds the referecences that should be persisted.
