Close current window

Nov 8th, 2000, 04:42 PM

In an ASP, either through a link or through a button, how can I close the current window (which was not opened through the open method) - without the user geting prompted - and open a new window?

The window.close gives a message like

"The web page is trying to close the window you are currently in. Do you wish to close the window"

Thanks for any help

Try the ASP forum.

Can you use JavaScript?

Code:

<script language="javascript">

function CloseWin()
{
window.close();
};

</script>


<HTML>
<BODY>

<input type="button" value="Close" onClick="javascript:CloseWin();" return true";>		

</BODY>
</HTML>

Matthew,
This still prompts the user to confirm if the window can be closed.
Acc to MSDN, when window.close() is executed in a window which was not explicitly opened wth an open statement, the user is prompted. I was wondering may be there is a way to circumvent this prompt.

Also, is there something similar to VB's cancel in form_unload
in the window object?
