I'm trying to close the browser usi

[TechnicalAnalysis]

I'm trying to close the browser using
window.close();

I'm getting the confirmation message box for the user to confirm closing the browser.

Is there a way to close the window without the confirmation??
I know that if the window has only one document (the current one) in its session history, the close is allowed without any confirmation is required.
So Can I use JavaScript to clear session history?

Regards

if it's the main window you just can't prevent that SECURITY message appearing. Perform a search in this forum, you're not the first one to ask - and no, there's no way to prevent it (would you like YOUR security to be that bad that any remote server can close windows on YOUR machine ? i definitly woudn't !)

what about activeX?
*IE only*
<OBJECT id=closes type=&quot;application/x-oleobject&quot; classid=&quot;clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11&quot;>
<param name=&quot;Command&quot; value=&quot;Close&quot;>
</object>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;close window&quot; onclick=&quot;closes.Click();&quot;>

this example was posted here zounds of times (may be here & in html & not zounds, but at least 5 times..)

but iza, don't worry, it won't close your nn4.7 (dinosaur!)
& we always can prevent aX from executing in our ie's turning them off in options (for ie6: tools->internet options->security->cistom level->disable whatever you want to be disabled

and i'd suggest to disable it as soon as you install ie n your machine .... ;]]]
