Javascript Close Window Javascript close window

Hi does anyone have a code to close the browser window. This code needs to be used to close an actual full sized window, not a pop-up window.

Try this:

<a href="javascript:window.close()">Close this window!</a>

I think it's the same regardless of what size the window is.

In some browsers, closing a top-level window via JavaScript's window.close() will result in a confirmation dialog being displayed. That I know of, this cannot be prevented through the code itself (you may be able to disable it in some browsers, though). Only new windows opened from within that window may be closed without confirmation. Other browsers, however, will simply close the window, no questions asked; it just depends on the respective JavaScript engine and how the developers have opted to handle such an event by default.

I agree with Spectre. Browsers like Internet Explorer will display a pompt first before closing the window. You should consider those who visit your site and what browser they're using.

hi,yeah, Internet Explorer always prompts for confirmation before closing the main window. I m not sure of other browser but I suppose most would.But I visited a certain site where on logging out, the particular window closed and opened a new browser window with a link 'Close this window'. On clicking the link the window closed without any confirmation dialog box. In effect this closed the main window without any dialog box. I m not sure how it was done.. I do not have the site bookmarked too so that I can check it out again..Did nyone else come across this sort of situation? If nyone knows the solution please post it here.Cheers.

There is a way to get around the confirmation problem, simply by instructing the browser that the window was actually opened with javascript, regardless of whether the window was or not.

function NoConfirm (){win = top;win.opener = top;win.close ();}

Now replace:

<a href="javascript:window.close()">Close this window!</a>

...with...

<a href="javascript:NoConfirm()">Close this window!</a>

and it should work. Feel free to ask if it doesn't!

Ah, very good, rvalkass. It does indeed work. I didn't know it was possible with Internet Explorer at all. And that is why client-side scripting languages are not my area.

Okay, I tried it and it didn't work. To be fair, I put your script in the last window of the sequence that began with a pop-up, but I still don't see why it shouldn't work.

Click on "samples"

 

This opens a slideshow (as a pop-up). The last page (samples15.Html) includes your code
