IE 5 window won' t close without prompt!!

[sweetleaf]

Hi does anyone know how to disable the following IE message when trying to close a window (window.close)?:

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

thanks!

no you cant disable this as it's a security matter
now perform a search in this forum and in the jscript one, using "window close prompt" or something like that as keywords - you'll get plenty of answers detailing that secuity issue for you

thanks pepperpepsi and iza,

I'm going through the recommended readings right now and they look quite helpful.
only difference is i'm opening the asp page that i want to close from asp [vb]script rather than from client script.

sweetleaf,

You can't do it in the server side, you have to use Javascript to close the window, for example

Response.Write(&quot;<Script>window.close()</script>&quot
