How do I close the browser window after the max inactivity has expired

[yongbum]

Hi I have the following to redirect after max 3 minutes inavtivity:

<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='180; url=Login.aspx'>

Instead of 'url=Login.aspx' I'd like to close the browser window - window.close - as the aspx pages are accessed after using window.open.
What is the syntax within the meta tag for using
window.close.

Thanks for any help

There is no meta tag or attribute or any HTML that will close a window. That is javascript.

If you really need to use javascript then why not create a page that just closes the window with javascript and redirect the browser there instead?

Incidentally, I think a better way to do what you seem to be doing would be through the use of sessions via watever backend scripting language is available to you (asp by the looks of it!).
