RE:SOLUTION - Closing a window from JS without prompt?
We managed to do it, but by tricking the calling window. Here's a code
snippet that might be useful for some of you out there:
mainwin = window.open('#NewURL#', 'mainwin', '');
mainwin.opener = mainwin;
window.opener = mainwin;
window.close();
(to be fair, I have to give credit for this to another of our developers...)

that snippet didn't work in either NS or IE for me
IE didn't even load the page and NS bombed because it said that closes
was
not defined
i just pasted that snippet into a page.
is there something else that needs to be done?

I'm looking for ideas on how to close a Parent window from Javascript
without getting the confirmation prompt.
We don't have an issue with any child windows, but we open an interface
to
our app then want to close the original window without the prompt.
Any tips? Thanks in advance.

Re: Closing a window from JS without prompt?
i would use a javascript function to open the window and subsequently c lose itself. If there are any URLs in the history of a window it cannot c lose, with javascript, without a prompt (up to IE 5.5 and NS 4.7). I'm not sure about version 6s.

RE: Closing a window from JS without prompt?
Thanks. I've passed this message on to one of our developers to try out. I
was thinking an ActiveX object could do the trick (we only need to worry
bout IE5.5+).
Thanks to everyone else who responded. We were of the same opinion that
only windows opened with JS could be closed by JS without a prompt.

You can't do it. In the security model of Javascript the only windows that can be closed are the child windows.
