self closing window

[DCman]

I'm hoping this is an easy question.

How do I get a window to open and automatically close its self?...without getting the alert box.

newWindow = window.open()
newWindow.close()

Sorry Chris,
Where would that script be inserted?
I am a real newbie but this eems to be what I need to do. I have a loader page which onload calls up a second page fullscreen, so using this script can I close the loader after it executes the load fullscreen?

Hope this helps

If I understand correctly, in page 1 onLoad you do a window.open() to open page 2. To then close page 1 from page 2, do a window.opener.close() in page 2 onLoad.

However, you can't close a window which you haven't opened yourself without getting the alert box.

Greg.
