Javascript window question

Lemming

hey guys,

got a question regarding usin the javascript 'close' function ni a webpage.

Basically, a webpage loads, and makes a call to a function that opens a new window, specific size, no menus, etc. Just a window.

But then I need to close the originating webpage, so I'm using the self.close() function. But it keeps popping up a message box looking for a "yes" or "no" answer. Does anyone know how I can make the original page close in the background without any further user intervention required?

Thats the second time I've been asked that question today. I don't know how.

What kind of Yes or No box? I've seen browsers enforce "This window is trying to close itself. Do wish to allow it?" before, and I've seen other browsers just allow windows to close themselves with no problems....

T'is using IE (not my choice, but not my decision in this case either), and it gets some sort of "Do you wish to close this window: Y/N" type message. Can't recall the exact one I was shown, but that's the jist of it.

AFAIK you can't get around it.... it's a security measure
