close window

[janet24]

I'm trying to close an existing window...(not a pop-up window) with a confirm button.....

I have a function declared....

function close(){
var msgclose = "Are you sure you want to close?"
if(confirm(msgclose)) window.close();
}


then I call the funtion:

javascript:close();

In the button.

I get the confirm message but when I click ok the window doesn't close. It's a regular window not a pop-up window.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks,

Without testing, try renaming your close() method since obviously there is more there is a window.close() method with which you may be competing.

Also, if that doesn't work by itself, before your window.close(), add "window.opener=self;"

'hope this helps.

I thought JScript could only close windows that JScript opened?

:-?
