[Users] GeoExt Popup / GetFeatureInfo, how do I destroy the popup if it exists?

[Andrew Stewart]

 Thanks for your suggestion, I tried to use your suggested code but I am getting a Javascript error after hovering over my layer, which states -

Message: Unspecified error.
Line: 1188
Char: 1
Code: 0
URI: http://localhost/WebServices/OpenLayers-2.10/OpenLayers.js

which is this line in OpenLayers.js but not sure exactly what's wrong. I do appreciate your assistance.


this._object.send(vData);if(bGecko&&!this._async){this.readyState=cXMLHttpRequest.OPENED;fSynchronizeValues(this);while(this.readyState<cXMLHttpRequest.DONE){this.readyState++;fReadyStateChange(this);if(this._aborted)



var info, infopop;

        //Getfeatureinfo object
        info = new OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo({
            url: 'http://ITS701X5J1/RedWMS/Request.aspx',
            title: 'Identify features by clicking',
            layers: [layer_Garbage_Zones],
            queryVisible: true,
            infoFormat: 'text/html',
            maxFeatures: 1,
            hover:true
            });

            info.events.on({
              getfeatureinfo: function(e)
              {
            //get all existing popups
            var popups = Ext.WindowMgr.getBy(function(win){return (win instanceof GeoExt.Popup)});

            //kill all existing popups
            popups.each(function(popup){popup.destroy()});

            //<ADDED CODE - end>
             infopop =  new GeoExt.Popup({      //utilizing the GeoExt popup functionality
                    title: "Hotspot Information",
                    autoWidth: true,
                    autoHeight: true,
                    autoScroll: false,
                    map: map,
                    lonlat: map.getLonLatFromPixel(e.xy),
                    html: e.text
                })
                    etext = e.text;
               // if the hotspot information is empty (layer doesn't match) don't display!
               if (etext.length == 45)
                    {
                            infopop.close();
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        infopop.show();
                    }
                }});

            map.addControl(info);
            info.activate();

Subject: [Users] GeoExt Popup / GetFeatureInfo, how do I destroy the popup if it exists?

Below is my code for when I hover over a specific layer and the popup hotspot information is shown. I am trying to figure out how to only get one popup to show at a time so that I can show them like tooltips and destroy the existing one if another is shown. I have tried using if (infopop) or if (!infopop) but this doesn't seem to work in the way I have this coded. If anyone has any advice on how to destroy my popup when another is created thanks!

            layers: [layer_Garbage_Zones],
