Cancel alert after javascript:window.close()

[ssidetv]

I have successfully added the above command to a button in a Flash navigation bar - it's necessary as I am running IE in kiosk mode so there's no menu bar.

Anyway, when I press the button I get the alert asking if I really want to close the browser window.

Is there a parameter I can add to bypass the alert and simply close the window?

Thanks

Nick

Nick, not that I know of. However, if you have enough control to be able to run your app in kiosk mode, why not make it an .hta? You'll have full control over window controls.

The script that you mentioned here and in my post
did not really work.

What I had done was create a window using the window.open method.

There I had given an onClick event using your code. The browser still asked for confirmation.

I was using IE 5.0

When I used the window.close() function , it closed without asking for a confirmation.

Are there restrictions based on the browser or other issues?
Normally they ask for a confirmation if I use the window.close() command

I guess you could say...

<script>
function closerWin(){
if (self.opener == &quot;&quot {
self.opener = this
}
self.close()
}
