Close window with JavaScript

[John H.]

Hello

I have some trouble in closing a window, Here is the problem:

I develop a asp.net website use client side valiation

<asp:CustomVali dator id="CustomValid ator1"
ControlToValida te="Text1"
ClientValidatio nFunction="Basi cSearchValidati on"
OnServerValidat e="ServerValida tion"
Display="Static "
ErrorMessage="N ot an even number!"
ForeColor="gree n"
Font-Name="verdana"
Font-Size="10pt"
runat="server"/>
the validation function (JavaScript) is

BasicSearchVali dation(source, arguments)
{
...

w1 = window.open("Po pupErrorMsg.htm ", "example1", "width=400,
height=300, location=no, menubar=no, status=no, toolbar=no,
scrollbars=no, resizable=no");
...
}

ASP.net will automatically call BasicSearchVali dation and open a
window,
but when I click close button on the window, it always prompt a
messagebox to ask me to close it. How can I close the window without
the prompting the messagebox?

Thanks!
John

Hi

If your app did not open the window ( window.open ) you will get a confirm
box
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ds/close_0.asp

There is a hack but I don't think its a good idea using it so I wont post it
:)

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