Yes, close just hides the window (sets CSS class .btl-window-closed {display:none} on window)

If you close a window that has an id and then create a new window with the same id you will get the error message. Even removing the window (for example with bb.document.removeChild) will leave a reference to the window's id in the model and controler... and you will get the error message.

I had the same problem and solved it by overriding the window close method so that it destroys the window, like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<d:tdl xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" 

        xmlns:d="http://www.backbase.com/2006/tdl" 

        xmlns:b="http://www.backbase.com/2006/btl">

        <d:namespace name="http://www.backbase.com/2006/btl">

                <d:uses element="window" src="/Backbase/4_1_2/bindings/www.backbase.com.2006.btl/window/windowBase.xml" />

               <e:element name="window" extends="b:window">

                        <d:method name="close">

                                <d:body type="text/javascript">

                                        bb.command.destroy(this);

                                </d:body>

                        </d:method>

                </d:element>

        </d:namespace>

</d:tdl>

If it is the active window, get a window reference to it from windowArea/property::activeWindow

If it is not the active window, loop through windowArea/property::windows until you find a window that matches some identifying criteria.

Once you have the window reference, just call close method.

Great! I was looking for a

Great! I was looking for a way to destroy a window on close by default.
But I'mm using Backbase 4.2.0 and I'm getting an error when a window is destroyed...

Execution: Invalid method context, method "getAttribute" was called on a node which has been destroyed..

The error doesn't seem to have any influence on the application's integrity.

BB 4.2 has a small buglet. The TDL code for 4.2 looks like this:

<d:tdl xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" 

     xmlns:d="http://www.backbase.com/2006/tdl" 

     xmlns:b="http://www.backbase.com/2006/btl">

     <d:namespace name="http://www.backbase.com/2006/btl">

          <d:uses element="window" src="/Backbase/4_2_0/bindings/www.backbase.com.2006.btl/window/windowBase.xml" />

          <d:element name="window" extends="b:window">

               <!-- this prevents "setAttribute called on a node which has been destroyed" bug when closing windows -->

               <d:handler event="click" type="text/javascript">

                    if (this.modelNode == null) { return }

               </d:handler>

               <d:method name="close">

                    <d:body type="text/javascript">

                         // following is an alternative to the use of click handler above

                         //setTimeout(function(theWindow){bb.command.destroy(theWindow)},10,this);  

                         bb.command.destroy(this)

                    </d:body>

               </d:method>

          </d:element>

     </d:namespace>

</d:tdl>

Thanks a lot! Works like a
