Paul:
The script "window.close()" close the window in the browser. Is this
that you need?

The script "window.close()" close the window in the browser. Is this
that you need?

That will generate a message asking the user to confirm that they want to
close the window, and you have omitted the final semi-colon.

The correct JavaScript is:

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

Thanks for the responses, do I just attatch this to the onclick event?

The correct JavaScript is:

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

That only appears to be the case with IE6.

In IE7, setting opener to null doesn't appear to make a difference. There
is a difference between closing a window that was opened by script versus
closing a window that was not opened by script. You're prompted with a
confirmation if closing a window that was _not_ opened by JavaScript. If
the window was opened by JavaScript, you're not prompted with a confirmation
(it just closes). Setting window.opener to null doesn't change this.

In Firefox, if you try to close a window that was not opened by JavaScript,
it doesn't close and you get the message "Warning: Scripts may not close
windows that were not opened by script." in the error console. If you close
a window that was opened by JavaScript, you're not prompted with a
confirmation (it just closes). This is true regardless of setting
window.opener to null.

In Safari 3.1, setting opener to null makes no difference. Windows opened
by script always close without a confirmation, and windows not opened by
script will not close with window.close().

setting opener to null was a trick that works due a (minor) security bug
with ie 6.0 (opener should be read only). no properly coded browser will
allow javascript to close a main (non popup) window, only windows that
were opened with javascript (and thus have an opener defined) will
respond to window.close().

Aaah ... I wasn't aware of this issue with IE6. Another item on my "go away
IE6" list :)
