window.close()

Hi all,

Please direct me to a current treatise of window.close().

My info is that a window can be closed provided it has
been opened by the same script or functions within the
same document.

And this is as far as I've got, but no success:

function window(url) {
var pdf = window.open (url,null,"resi zable,scrollbar s");
setTimeout("pdf .close()", 2000);
}

Please clarify, or help... and many thanks!

function doit(url) {
var w = window.open(url );
setTimeout( function(){ w.close() }, 15000);
};

Nothing, should it be "wrong" in your view?

Did you test it cross browser?
Personally, no I can't : no IE ...

Will or will not IE close the window 'w' ?

I'm just starting to learn JavaScript, so far I like it! I want to add some JS to my Ebay listings, to manually open a pop-up window. It works OK, but the JS gets rejected by Ebay. If I can't use JS in my listing, is there a way of using JS to resize a current window, and remove the toolbars etc, so it looks like a pop-up? --

Hi, I have a nice little script that works well displaying images on my website. It's a script where if you clik a thumbnail image a pop up window opens that contains a larger version of the same image. What I would like to create is a link that can be clicked on to close the window that contains the larger image. This would make it easier for the users to close the window. I have posted the script that I use. Any help would be much...

I am having a problem closing a popup window opened modally.

I did a ton of searching to try and find a simple solution to this issue and finally wrote my own, which I am sharing with everyone. In my searching, I did find a very complete and robust solution at http://weblogs.asp.net/asmith/archive/2003/09/15/27684.aspx but it was far more complex then I needed. (I got lost trying to figure it all out). Therefore, here goes my simple "web dialog box with parent event handler fireing" solution. ...

How is the best way to avoid validation when closing a window? For instance, I have a Windows Forms window which has a validation event for a text box. However, if one enters invalid data in then and then attempts to close the window (either via my custom 'Close' box or by clicking the close 'X' in the upper right window corner), the validation event still triggers and it tells the user that they have invalid data. Which of course means...

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

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
