    SetTimeout not working correctly in IE

    I have a script to close my window after a specified amount of time (in this
    case about 15 seconds).

    *************** *************** *************** *
    <script language="javas cript">
    function KillMe()
    {
    setTimeout("sel f.close()",1500 0);
    }
    </script>
    </head>

    <body style="margin:0 " onLoad="KillMe( );">
    *************** *************** *************** *******

    This script works fine in Mozilla, but in IE it stays open for about 2
    seconds and closes.

    Why doesn't it work for IE?

    Thanks,

    Tom.

          Define "doesn't work". It works just fine, in 15 seconds, in IE6 XP SP2
          for me.

              Had you tested it, you would have found the answer. But its easier to
              say "Oh, its an MS bug" than it is to test it and find out.

                  In my case, it just stays there for IE, but not for mozilla.
