I'm after a script that will close the browser window without the browser asking the user if it's OK for the page to close itself.
It's for an admin login page, whereby if the wrong username / password is entered a certain number of times (ie, a hack attempt), the window will close. Obviously I can use window.close() or self.close(), but IE pops up a warning first and allows you to prevent the self-closure. Don't mind if it's ASP or javascript.

The warning only pops up if you are in the parent window. If you are in a child window that was spawned by a parent, then you will not get a pop up. To my knowledge, Javascript is the only method for closing the browser. ------------- L. Jamal Walton http://www.ljamal.com/" rel="nofollow - L. Jamal Inc : Web/ Print Design and ASP Programming |

i'll back up to what ljamal is saying, javascript (and this is your ONLY method of closing a window) will not "quietly" close a parent window..... ------------- Contribute to the working anarchy we fondly call the Internet |

Thanks both. I have just found elsewhere a nice cheat for this - you still get the js warning, the only difference being you add a couple of lines to define what it says and does - so regardless of whether you click "OK" or "cancel", the window still closes.
Haven't tested it fully yet, but I haven't found a way around it yet.  ------------- http://www.pedalcars.info/ - www.pedalcars.info The most fun on four wheels

That's the same cheat that porn and less moral web sites use to reset your search option or add them selves as your home page. Are you sure that's what you want to be grouped with? Why is it so important to close the window? ------------- L. Jamal Walton http://www.ljamal.com/" rel="nofollow - L. Jamal Inc : Web/ Print Design and ASP Programming |
