window.opener does not work on a windows 2000 wks

[Whitebat]

The problem is that this
window.opener=self;window.close();
works just fine on an Windows 2000 machine. But on a machine which was only updated from NT to 2000 it wont. There i still receive the message " Are you sure you want to close the window yes/no"
Any suggestions on how to get it work on an updated machine ? everything else is equal like the browser version and settings.



Thanks Whitebat

it does not work for IE 5.0

It is likely that this technique is actually a bug exploit in which case future browser releases will fix it, causing it not to work.
