RE: Closing a window from JS without prompt?

[Matthew R. Small]

You can't do it.  In the security model of Javascript the only windows
that can be closed are the child windows. At least, that's what I've
been taught.

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.

I have an app that opens up a window full screen and then I need to
close the parent window that is behind it. So what I did was added the
object code below to the head and then refresh the parent window with
the onload function that initiates and closes the parent window. Works
like a champ for me. You might have to play around with it depending on
your need.

html
head
titleUntitled/title
!--- // Must have this in the head // ---
object id=closes type=application/x-oleobject
classid=clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11
param name=Command value=Close
/object
/head

script
function closeme() {
closes.Click();
}
/script


body onload=document.form.CloseArea.focus();

form
input type=text name=CloseArea onfocus=closeme()
style=width: 0px;
/form

/body
/html

Does this work in NN 4.7?

Hi!

As far as I know you cannot close a parent window from a child, but I
think you can try something like this:
1. call setTimeout(closeFunction, 2000)
2. open the child window from the parent
3. in closeFunction you close your parent window and I think you get no
confirmation promt.

HTH,
Mack

RE: Closing a window from JS without prompt?

[savan . thongvanh]

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?

Re: Closing a window from JS without prompt?

[savan . thongvanh]

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.
