Close the browser

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to close the browser with out the IE security
message "The Web page you are viewing is trying to close the window."
message. I know how to close the browser using Javascript (window.close() )
but I would not like to get this message.
Is there a way to close it in C#?

Thanks

Controlling the browser is a client-side behavior, so you have to use
javascript. And whether or not you get those types of errors is entirely
dependant on the browser. Typically, you can close any window you open, but
not ones that the user has opened themselves.

Hello Randy,

Prior to calling window.close, set window.opener to a non-null value. Ex:

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

I've noticed that session variables will persist on Mac IE even after all browser windows have been closed. One must quit the program to clear the session variables. This presents a security risk for my session variable based security scheme. Basically, the risk is that a user will login to my site, close the window when done and allow someone else to come up to the machine, go back to my site and be logged into the previous user's...

I have an ASP page that is sent a file location as a parameter. It opens this file, loads the ADODB.Stream object and does a binary write to the page forcing the download dialog to appear. This all works fine. If the user selects "Open" or "Cancel", the window closes, which is the desired behavior. If they select "Save", the location dialog shows up, they save the file and the window remains open. I've tried a number of things to get...

How to trap browser close event in SERVER side? I read a lot of forum message, it talk about onclose(), onunload() and even onbeforeunload() event.

Hi I have a web application that has a log off selection, just redirects the browser to a form with a label displaying you are loging off. In part of the application I open a new window and was wondering if there is a way to close all windows associated with the web application when the user selects the log off selection?

Hey everyone:) We have a critical problem, which I can see that other people also has ran into. In Internet Explorer 7 it is no longer possible to do a window.close after opening a window, without getting a alert message that ask if u want to close the window. This did NOT happen in Internet Explorer 6, Mozilla firefox or other browsers.

After considerable googling - I mean searching with Google(r) - I could not find javascript on a button or <a href=... to close a window in the latest versions of IE and FireFox. There seemed to be two techniques for earlier versions. But the window.opener='' ;window.close(); and the window.open('','_parent','') ;window.close(); techniques do not work for me. I.e., I still get confirmation message

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
