Hi,
Anyone know how to close the window? Example, my default page consist of 3
link. When user click on the link, the new window will be open. At the same
time, I want my default page to be closed automatically, without any message
to prompt me for confirmation. I used the window.close() in the open new
window routine but it will prompt me for confirmation. Please help..
Thanks
Phil

This question is coming up once in a time. If it is possible to close the
window that the user opened without a warning, why should you want to. The
user opened a window to browse to your website. If the website tries to
close that window it is (IMHO) good practice to warn him/her. So he can
decide if she wants the window kept open or not.

Gerhard Wentink

I've said the same thing many times on these lists... I suspect that the
reason you want to open a new window for the link is that you want to hide
toolbars etc for your application. Once they have finished using your
application, if they want to continue surfing, they can't do it in that
window, so they need to close it and go back to the original window. If the
original window is gone, then they have to go back to the desktop and click
on the browser icon again, wait for their home page to load again etc, which
means they have to wait rather than immediately type in the next URL which
they could do if the original window was still open.
You cannot assume that people will want the original window closed just
because your application runs in a new window.

In my instance I do want users to close a window without being prompted.
Our Intranet offers a Help window throughout the site, and browsing in the
help window is not allowed as it's far smaller, has no toolbars or the
address bar.
If the user has closed their main intranet window, then this is their choice
and they will have to re-open it. Intranets should be almost instant so the
no-prompting is a better method for us.

I don't follow you...
You said "If the user has closed their main intranet window, then this is
their choice", meaning that they've closed the window manually, in which
case there is no prompt... the prompt appears when you try to close the main
window with window.close() or self.close(), which you wouldn't be doing if
you want their main window to remain open?

I agree what you said but due to the cache issue, I have no choice.
My default page consists of three links. User click any link and new window
will be opened. They need to login (password and user id) and do the rest of
the job. When done, the will close the newly opened window and return to the
default page. User may login click on the same link to login again but using
different password and user id. The problem if even he/she login as other
user account, he/she will see the previous user information! I wrote to the
vendor and they said it is because of the cache/session. The only way is to
close all the browser and re-open it again so that the user will not see
other's information! Can anyone help me?? I also don't want to close the
default page but no choice.

you don't have to close the window to end the session. Call Session.abandon
to kill the current session in the ASP that does the logon.

It depends. If you open the window with Javascript, you can always close
it no matter the security settings.

yes exactly - if you open a window with script then it is a child window and
so there is no prompt when you close it with script. You only get the
prompt if you attempt to close the main, original window that the user
opened.

It depends. If you open the window with Javascript, you can always close
it no matter the security settings.

you don't have to close the window to end the session. Call
Session.abandon
to kill the current session in the ASP that does the logon.

I agree what you said but due to the cache issue, I have no choice.
My default page consists of three links. User click any link and new
window
will be opened. They need to login (password and user id) and do the
rest of
the job. When done, the will close the newly opened window and
return to the
default page. User may login click on the same link to login again
but using
different password and user id. The problem if even he/she login as
other
user account, he/she will see the previous user information! I wrote
to the
vendor and they said it is because of the cache/session. The only
way is to
close all the browser and re-open it again so that the user will not
see
other's information! Can anyone help me?? I also don't want to close
the
default page but no choice.

I've said the same thing many times on these lists... I suspect that
the reason you want to open a new window for the link is that you
want
to hide toolbars etc for your application. Once they have finished
using
your application, if they want to continue surfing, they can't do it
in
that window, so they need to close it and go back to the original
window.
If the original window is gone, then they have to go back to the
desktop
and click on the browser icon again, wait for their home page to
load again
etc, which means they have to wait rather than immediately type in
the
next URL which they could do if the original window was still open.
You cannot assume that people will want the original window closed
just
because your application runs in a new window.

This question is coming up once in a time. If it is possible to
close the
window that the user opened without a warning, why should you want
to. The user opened a window to browse to your website. If the
website
tries to close that window it is (IMHO) good practice to warn
him/her. So
he can decide if she wants the window kept open or not.

in each page of your application
<BODY ONBEFOREUNLOAD="window.opener.location.href='logout.asp'">
then in the logout ASP call session.abandon and then redirect back to the
home page
