Close Window Script

[Simon Fletcher]

Hello there,

I need a "Close Window" script ( onLoad.Close.Wi ndow() ), 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.

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

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

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.
