I'm working on a new site, here is the testing site:

http://www.ticinorally.com/aap/newsite/ - http://www.ticinorally.com/aap/newsite/

how you can see when you enter in the index.html, the site open automatically a site with dimension of 800 x 600.

Now, when the 800 x 600 page is loaded that the index.html will be closed automatically.

Can anyone help me or suggest another good solution?

with most browser settings you can only close pages you opened with window.close but you cannot close a user initiated window.

well, you can, but it will give the user a warning message saying that the page is trying to close itself.

Is it possible to redirect instead of reloading? If so this script may be of use to you:

As stated above, only a popup can be closed with window.close(). Flamewave is also correct, and that warning message can not be turned off.

Index.html is the blank site
Main.html is the site in 800 x 600 pixel (pop-up)

My idea was to insert in the index.html a Open Window command to open Main.html. That was not a problem.

Then, when main.html is loaded main.html will close index.html so that the system didn't show the warning message (that the page is trying to close itself).

I know that if it's possible, i need a javascript, but i didn't know javascript.

Wow thanks Zaboss. And for all the people that have the same problem, here you have the script:

Put in the <head> the following script:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

</script>

And add to the <body> script this:

<body onLoad="opener.top.close()">

This script will automatically close the page that has loaded you "Pop-up".
