Dear script fellows and colleagues,
I've been asking for this at IE product feedback website
(
opener property should be a read-only property section at
http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/Channel9.InternetExplorerSecurity
)
and it seems we've got this now.
"window.opener and window.close --
Internet Explorer 7 no longer allows the window.opener trick to bypass
the window.close prompt.
Browser windows can't close themselves unless the windows were created
in script. This security enhancement no longer allows browsing to a
random site when the main browser window closes unexpectedly."
