HI

I need to close a window without the user being asked :

The web page you are viewing is trying to close the window.
Do you want to close the window?

The window that I am trying to close invokes a new full screen
window, and it is annoying if the user is bothered with the
window opening it.

this is not for a web page but a internal web based program I am
busy writing.

Can you help Plz?
:confused:

window.opener = top;
window.close();

This does not work if the current window is the parent window, If I called this window from another window this would work.
Thus it is still giving me that confirmation window :

The Web page you are viewing is trying to close the window.
Do you want to close the window?

And this is the message I am trying to avoid.

Regards Reuben.

this should work in some browsers because it is a known bug.
what browser are you using? in the site where i found it, it lists the supported browsers. just forgot the url.

I just tried this script & it works

<script><!--
window.setTimeout("javascript:top.window.close();",5000)
/--></script>

but I'm not sure if It'll work for your "internal web based program". You can try.

window.opener = top;
window.close();

... this will work in IE 5.5 for your parent window, just put it at the bottom of your pop-up function. Did it just yesterday and worked fine.

Sorry I took so long to reply.
My code is as follows :

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
<!-- Begin
function start()
{
var _loc = "login.jsp";
var _name= "Login";
var _features="fullscreen";
var _replace=true;
window.open(_loc,_name,_features,_replace);
window.opener = top;
window.close();
}
//end-->
</script>
</head>
<body onload="javascript:start()">
</body>
</html>
