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

[Matt Priour]

I am also getting this error when using hover handler on WMSGFI control in OL 2.10 in IE
I think there is some bug in 2.10 related to this but I've not tested it enough.

 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;

                    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();

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!
