How to close browser window?
Hi,
I have an asp page, what i want is that after the script has been executed the window should be closed automatically, i.e. by javascript.
This is what i have done but not working.
---------
<%
dim d
d = 1
if d = 1 then
'' do something
else
'' do something
end if
response.write "Script Executed Successfully!!"
%>
<script language="text/javascript">
window.self.close()
// i tried using "self.close()", "window.close()" but not working
</script>
--------
Please advice
----------

Probably your script block is ignored as language="text/javascript" should be type="text/javascript".
You can use window.close() or self.close(), the user will be asked to confirm.

Just a friendly reminder....
It probably won't work in Mozilla Firefox.

Why not? I use self.close();, window.close(); all the time in Firefox.
I'm not talking about pop-up window.
<html>
<body>
<input type="button" value="close" onclick="javascript:window.close();">
</body>
</html>
The above won't work unless you do some change in setting.

It will only close without confirmation if it is a popup that you have spawned. Otherwise, would you like to surf the web and your browser suddenly close without warning?? That's why there is a confirmation before closing a window that is not a popup, and yes, there is no way around it.
Regards,
Rich

That hack will not work on all browsers and is slated to be fixed in the next IE release so don't rely on it.
One reason web apps have taken off in the last few years is that the browser offers a consistent user interface. Accept the fact that somethings can't be done. Why should you be able to close my browser, it's not something most desk tops apps do either, how about if Microsoft Word suddenly closed down half way through editing a page?

Let me tell you why i need this stuff:
This is timesheet web application on asp.
I have written an autocheck asp file which will check for the employees who have not entered time in db,
after checking it will send email to them, since i have to run this on specific time i have schedule this file on server, after executing the window remains in task bar and my NetAdmintr is not agree with this and so i have to close window automatically, further it is fixed that this script will run in IE only.
I don't have any other simple solution.
Please advice.
