The window.close() method apparently does not work in Mac IE 5.2. I've used
it with no problem in the "big 3" browsers on Mac and Windows, including
Mac IE 5.0, but now in 5.2 it doesn't work. Has anyone else encountered
this? Is there a fix or workaround available? Am I just missing something?
Why is the sky blue? What's it all about, Alfie?

How was the window you are trying to close opened? You can only close a window
that has no history and (or?) was opened by JavaScript. It's possible Microsoft
fixed a hole that allowed you to close a window you didn't open.
Are you _sure_ the code you have is working as written in other browsers?

It's a popup opened by code in the main page. It has no history (though
that's never been a problem before, either)

Sure. I've tested this very application in IE, NS and Opera on Windows,
and IE and NS on OS9. In fact, I didn't even become aware of the problem
until I upgraded my Mac to OSX/IE5.2 earlier this week.

If Not cn Is Nothing Then
CType(cn, IDisposable).Dispose()
End If
I have to admit, I'm not sure what happens here. Will someone explain this

So, I added a messagebox to my hidden StartAppForm in the Unload event. Now
when the application closes the user is presented with a message so they can

Hey everyone,
I've been working on a C++ program that uses several threads to read data from a large file into several buffers at speed and pass them to different classes at different rates. I'm working in linux using Eclipse as my editor and a simple makefile to compile the files.
My problem is that my main reader class (FileReader:- a thread class) does not seem to recognise the close() function that, as we all know, is the complement to...

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,...
