Hi,
I would like to close the browser window when I open the new one. Now I'm
getting really irritation message: do I really want to close it, yes or no.
I just want to close the browser without the message.
Does anybody know the solution?
greatings,

The only windows you can close via scripting are the windows that the
scripting opens.
you cannot close the original window that the user opens with a
shortcut... (well you can but the user has the choice as you can see).

I think, for the sake of doing it, I will keep my mouth (and fingers)
shut this time, its been beaten to death.
Needless to say, you *can* [1] close that window without a prompt.
Search the archives.
[1] In about 80% (??) of circumstances.
P.S. The Unconditional Truth might surprise you.

In the past you could:
- open a child
- let the child replace the current location of the parent, not via parent..
but via the name you gave the parent.
- then try to close the parent via that name.
I may hope this bug is fixed by now for all browsers.
The browser (MSIE) just though the child became parent of it's parent.

That is a very convoluted way of exploiting the bug that Randy alluded
to, an probably less reliable than the usual[1] method.

[1] Not usual in the sense that this is often done as it is a really
*bad* idea to shut down someone else's software without asking them
first, you never know what you might be destroying in the process.

Its not even that difficult. I can close the original page (In certain
browsers), without opening a second window at all.

Yeah, but that's not really being anti-social
screen.bufferDe pth=2
now that's anti-social.

Damn.
That's horrible.
Somebody should have each bone in their hands broken with
a hammer for specifying that.
(but did you mean 1? msdn seems to say that 2 is equivalent to -1,
and testing on IE6 verifies this)

Hi I have a web application that has a log off selection, just redirects the

off selection?
Thanks.

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

Hi all,
I want to capture the event when the browser's close button is
clicked
in an html page.
I tried using the event.ClientX and event.ClientY property in the
body unload event, and this helps to recognise whether the close
button is clicked( also differentiates whethet refresh was clicked).
The problem arises whenever i try to close the window by resizing it
or by right clicking at the bottom of the page and then closing it.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
