You can do that if you opened the parent with javascript. However, any time you try to close the original window with js, it will complain

[snip] You should not be able to do this unless you are in a secure, signed, scripting environment. Period. What you are asking invades the user's privacy. When you close the parent, you lose all their page history information -- this is why the confirmation message appears. The confirmation message will always appear if you programmatically try to close a window that the user opened. I am a bit shocked that the code you give doesn't launch a confirmation message in IE and Netscape 6-7. You must have your user privacy settings lower in those browsers. > Can someone > please send me an example? > > This code works in IE and Netscape 6-7 but not Netscape 4.7 > > <!--- <SCRIPT LANGUAGE = JavaScript> > > { > > newwin=window.open("Login.cfm","_blank","......." ) > firstwindow = window.self; > firstwindow.opener = window.self; > > firstwindow.close(); > newwin.focus() > > } > </SCRIPT> ---> > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
