when i close my page, how to avoid the Microsoft Internet Explorer msg?

the msg is "The Web page you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you want to close this window?

This is a little JavaScript secret....

window.opener = top;
window.close();

Use this JS code to get what you want.

hi Snib,

it really works!! but i can open the window once only.

actually wat i wanted to do on my page is
1. Open a new windows (named newWindows1) & close the "old" windows.
2. when i click <close> on the new windows (named newWindows1), another new windows (named newWindows2) open & close the newWindows1.
- this will work continuosly.

my problem is I can open & close the browser windows once only. which means
step 1. open & close
step 2. close (but without open a new windows)

So wat can i do to open a new windows in step 2?? wat happened now is in step 2, it only close and it will not open a new windows.

window.open
window.opener = top;
window.close();

I hope I have describe my problem clear enough here.

advanced thanks for those who able to provide help.

Add an onunload attribute to the body tag like this:

<body onunload='openWin()'>
<script language=javascript>
function openWin()
{
window.open('yourpage.php');
}
</script>
