Close window script 2

[ccs2]

I need a little java script attached to 'Close Window' text on a web page which will do just that, rather than require the user to use the cross button in the window corner. Can anyone help?

Here you go:

[tt]<a href="#" onclick="window.close();">Close Window</a>[/tt]

One option:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="opener=self;window.close();">Close Window</a>

'hope that helps.

<a href="#" onClick="window.close();">Close window</a>
This will provoke a permissions prompt from IE, at least. To circumvent that, try:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function closeNoPrompt()
{
  top.opener = self;
  top.window.close();
}
-->
</script>
...
<a href="#" onClick="closeNoPrompt()">Close window</a>

The program didn't do anything wrong; it did exactly what you told it to!

Oops... mistake in mine:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.opener=self;window.close();">Close Window</a>

As I've found out (the hard way), you have to be careful where you use that security alert workaround. Some people or groups of people consider it malicious in that it avoids displaying a security alert to a user.

The workaround, additionally, will only function in IE.
