self.close

[Clive Moore]

I am using the following code to close a parent window.

setTimeout('sel f.close()',1000 );

Is it posible to remove the confirm dialog?

Thanks Clive

Hi Clive,

I think it works like this (correct me if I am wrong)

The confirm dialog is there when javascript from windowA tries to close
windowB, AND windowB was not created by Javascript.
This is build like this to prevent that a certain window can close all you
other windows without your permission.

So if you want WindowA to have the possibility to close WindowB, you should
let windowB be created by windowA (with window.open().)

Good Luck,

Regards,

window.opener = window;
window.close();

exploits what some consider to be a bug in browsers.
