javascript close current window without prompt
I searched a lots of solution
for closing window without prompt and I got lots of script, but scripts was
not working for all the version of internet explore some working in IE7 and some
in IE8 so I wrote an unique solution which works in all version of internet
explore.
When we tries to close a window
(the window that is not opened through the JavaScript) using JavaScript window.close()
method in IE, IE throw a prompt "The Webpage you are viewing is trying to
close the window. Do you want to close this window?"
Because of the security
enhancements in IE, we can't close a window unless it is opened by a script. So
the walk around will be to let the browser thinks that this page is opened
using a script then closing the window. Below is the implementation.
<script type="text/javascript">
function
closeWP() {
var Browser =
navigator.appName;
var indexB =
Browser.indexOf('Explorer');
if (indexB
> 0) {
var indexV
= navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') + 5;
var Version
= navigator.userAgent.substring(indexV, indexV + 1);
if (Version
>= 7) {
window.open('',
'_self', '');
window.close();
}
else if (Version == 6) {
window.opener = null;
window.close();
}
else {
window.opener = '';
window.close();
}
}
else {
window.close();
}
}
</script>
