Close Window Script

[Simon Fletcher]

Hello there,

I need a "Close Window" script ( onLoad.Close.Window() ), however i need the
script so it don't come up with this annoying window:

"This window is trying to close" window.

Is there a script to stop this happening and close the window anyway?

A window opened by javascript can be closed by javascript. A window not
opened with javascript can not be closed with javascript.
A window opened by the user himself can only be closed by the user himself.

Try this in your browser:

Huh... I use up to 7 different browsers. So, which one?

<script type="text/javascript">
window.opener = window;
window.close();
</script>

I'll try it. I think Peter-Paul Koch already mentioned this hack at his
site.

In a test page. IE4/5.0, it still prompts, no other browser that I have that I
can test it on does it prompt. NN4.80? No prompt. Closes the browser.




The FAQ is wrong in this regard.

Ok then. How about:

A window not opened with javascript should not be closed with javascript.
A window opened by the user himself should only be closed by the user
himself.
