Hi
I should admit at the beginning that I love FireFox very much. But
recently there were two FF related issues that bothered me, and I had
no idea.
The first one is how to use javascript to close the FF window. I can
use window.close() to close the children window, but I can't close the
parent window. In IE, you can close parent window through
window.close() with a warning message. So I am wondering if there is a
setting in FF so that I can close the parent window using
window.close().
The second one is a little bit complicated. I have a couple of pages
and on each page there is a timer. At the beginning, everything is
normal and it works pretty well. After I submitted a form and get
response from server, there is a progress bar in the status bar of FF.
The duration of the progress bar depends on the delay of my timer. I
set it to be 1 second. So I will see a progress bar in each second.
It looks like the page is refreshing itself in each second.
Thanks!
