[OpenLayers-Users] Vector layer refresh - Popup will not close

[Wayne Dyck]

I am performing a refresh on a vector layer at certain time intervals to
update the data on the map. The problem is that if I issue a 'refresh'
call when a 'FramedCloud' popup is open I believe the reference to the
popup that feature is based on is lost.

Is there a way I can force the popup to be closed before calling the
'refresh'? Is there a specific event I should be listening to?

Thanks for any assistance.
