    ive got Page A which opens Page B as a popup with javascript.
    In that javascript after i have opened Page B i want to close Page A so I add window.close();

    It all works fine but a alert appears saying that the web page you are viewing is trying to close the webpage. Do you want to continue.....

    Basically once Page B is opened I want to close Page A without any popup of anything.

    Anyone have any ideas here lads?

    Tnx

    It's part of the Javascript security model, the child isn't allowed perform certain actions on the parent without confirmation from the user. The only way you can do it is with signed scripts.

    Pop-ups are BAD.

    No they're not. Neither are frames, the BLINK tag or not having ALT tags. They're only bad when they're implemented badly.

    Actually I take it back about the BLINK tag. That is bad.
