Is it possible to make a script that closes the internet browser when the user clicks,mouseove rs,or loads the page?

Thanks, Death Slaught

Heya, Death.

Short answer: No. Well, maybe in Windows you can try for some kind of buffer overflow vulnerability that you could then use to execute arbitrary commands and either erase the User's hard drive or sometimes close the browser, though that would not make your script very platform-independent, now would it?

Long answer: The most damage you can do is to close the window.

[code=javascript]
window.close();
[/code]

Just asking, but why would you want to close the browser when someone clicks somewhere on the page, or just moves the mouse or, even worse, just loads the page?!

simple if there was a glitch or they some how managed to get on a page thats not supposed to be accessed execpt by a certain person(me) it would ensure that the pages content was safe.

i don't think that will work cuz is u try to close the parent window, ie will ask u if u want this script to continue, if u say no the page will load.

It wouldn't ensure that the pages' contents were safe.

The only way to ensure that is not to allow them to get onto the page in the first place and that's only possible using a server-side language.
