Java script : Window.close

» Manish71mishra - Java script : window.close() - how to avoid the prompt

Hii

when we use window.close in java script, it gives the following msg -

The web page you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you want to close the window ?

I dont want this msg box to be popped up when window.close is issued.

Would appreciate if any one could help please...

Best wishes
Manish

It depends on your Browser's security settings so it's in the User's control as to whether they see a message or not. It's a security feature

If that is the only window that's open, windows gives you a default message of "The program blah blah blah... would like to close the window.. "

This obviously won't work to close the main window you have open, but here's what I use to link to my applications. This allows different business groups in my company to link to my applications without having to use JavaScript. Every application I design, I also make a page called "begin.html" with the following code. begin.html then opens the appropriate page of the application.

window.open('your_url','Page_Name','attributes');

if(window.history.length == 0){
window.close();}
if(window.history.length > 0){
window.history.back();}
