Thanks. I've passed this message on to one of our developers to try out. I was thinking an ActiveX object could do the trick (we only need to worry bout IE5.5+).
Thanks to everyone else who responded. We were of the same opinion that only windows opened with JS could be closed by JS without a prompt.

I have an app that opens up a window full screen and then I need to close the parent window that is behind it. So what I did was added the object code below to the head and then refresh the parent window with the onload function that initiates and closes the parent window. Works like a champ for me. You might have to play around with it depending on your need. <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> <!--- // Must have this in the head // ---> <object id="closes" type="application/x-oleobject classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11"> <param name="Command" value="Close"> </object> </head> <script> function closeme() { closes.Click(); } </script> <body onload="document.form.CloseArea.focus();"> <form> <input type="text" name="CloseArea" onfocus="closeme()" style="width: 0px;"> </form> </body> </html> -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Grover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 1:04 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Closing a window from JS without prompt? I'm looking for ideas on how to close a Parent window from Javascript without getting the confirmation prompt. We don't have an issue with any child windows, but we open an interface to our app then want to close the original window without the prompt. Any tips? Thanks in advance.
