close a window... IE7

[a8le]

Hi all,

I have a little piece of code that closes a pop-up after some scripts have run...

Page.RegisterStartupScript("Close", "<script language=javascript>window.close(); </script>")

Which works fine in IE6, but with IE7... I get a prompt confirming that I want to close it... very annoying. Anyway to get around this? Possible Javascript forum question, thought I ask ya'll first.

Thanks in advance,
a8le.

<input id="btnClose" type="button" value="close" onclick="javascript:window.open('','_parent',''); window.close();" />

Hey John,

Thanks for the reply, but that didn't work. I eventually found this thread...

and thought of a solution specific for my code.

Best Regards,

Strange that it would be difference between two IE7, it works fine here. Could be differences with the OS perhaps?
