I am opening a popup on the start page of my application.Once the popup is opened,i want to close the startup page.
When i am doing this by writing
window.opener.close()
on the popup then it displayes a message box
"Do you want to close the window you are viewing yes or no"

I want the start page should be closed withouht any message.

Please help me out ,


Thanks in advance,

Hi rakesh.kashnia1

IE prevents you to close a window that has no 'opener'. When you load your first page, it has no 'opener' set, so when you try to close it using script, it hints user about closing window through scripts. You can set a dummy opener for your first page to block this message.

// First page code
window.opener = "yoooohoooo";

// Popup page code
window.opener.close();

Thanks budy.
It solved my issue in IE .
But its not working in mozilla?

Please help me out.

Well, before writing window.opener.close, set the opener to null, e.g.

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