I want to close an internet explorer window without the warning popup. Im running ie 8 how would i do that cause when i use window.close() function it pops up with that warning.
View 5 RepliesWhat Im trying to figure out is a simple (im a noob) way to close a browser window that was opened by a button on another page and not get the warning window "you are about to close..".
Ive been hunting around here and the web but I cant find anything solid.
Can someone direct me to the solution?
i have written this peice of code:
<input type="Submit" name="Close" value="Close Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();" />
<a href="C:Documents and Settingsdavid.RSHMAINDesktopclose.htm" onclick="return openContextualHelpWindow(this.href);" target="helpwin">Condition</a>
When i click on the close button, i get a message asking me wether i want to close the window or not, when i click the link and open up the same page in a different window, i can click close, and it will do it. My question is this: Can i load a page up straight away, asif i have clicked the link?
I have a problem, and maybe someone knows the solution.
Context :
- Browser : IE 6.0
- Application server : Livewire Pro
- Client OS : Windows 98 SE
- Server OS : NT4
- I have a frameset, including several pages, but only one will be
used for the example.
--------
| a |
--------
| b |
--------
- a form on the main page (a.html i.e.)
- a data is manually typed, then I submit the form => the action will
redirect to a new page (c.html)
- on this new page, I do a history.go(-1), so I'm back on the a.html
page, and the data is still there (it's ok)
- cache parameters : "check on every page visited"
Problem :
- From the main page, if a popup gives the data to the form, so after
the submit and the history.go(-1), the form contains NO data !!!
So, the data is lost when the data input is not made by hand.
I have no troubles with Netscape/Mozilla, but only with IE.
Maybe someone would have an idea ?
I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'm looking for a way to access
another IE browser window using JavaScript (assuming the two browser
windows are running in the same instance).
The purpose of this task is so that if a user hits ctrl+n in IE, the
new window is "aware" of the other instance.
I'm using window.open method in my script to open poup window. Recently
Internet Explorer users reported that the script crashes on their
machine with different runtime errors.
See the bug:
- I have a button on my Flash site that opens an HTML page in a popup window. In Flash, I open the new window using Actiosnscript 2.0:
- Within the popup window are links to other HTML pages. They all open in the same window. I've been using the following to create the links in Dreamweaver:
- On each page, I have a "Return to Main Menu" button that should close the popup window. To do this, I have been using:
- The problem is that it works differently in each browser, and I can't even get it to consistently close the window in most browsers:
Internet Explorer = popup message appears, asking "Are you sure you want to close this window?" or something similar; window closes after clicking "Yes."
Safari = Only closes if I'm on the original HTML page. If I click on any of the other links (note that these all open in the same window), those pages' "Return to Main Menu" buttons cease to work. However, if I keep clicking "Back" until I get to the original page, it closes.
Opera = Button actually works for each page.
Firefox & Chrome = Does not close the window at all.
I looked into it and saw that others have used a window.opener to solve similar issues. But, since my popup window is opened using Flash/AS2, I need to find a way around it.
I've tried preceding "window.close()" with "window.opener=null" (i.e. -onClick="window.opener=null; window.close()"), but I don't think I'm doing it right because it still doesn't work.
I've also seen others use codes that involve functions and variables, but it is beyond my current coding knowledge to implement this. Like I said, I'm sort of new at this.
my javascript create new element when it is first loaded.
the code work fine in opera and mozilla and netscape, but it failed in
microsoft IE. message:
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site
I check the google, found some info. But, none related to my problem.
the cause is due to creating new element while the page is loading.
How to do that without problem?
So this works just fine in FF. In IE7 I am getting this error. I can see my content load in the background, when I hit ok it takes me to a page cannot be displayed page. If I comment out:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/moodalbox.js"></script>
It doesnt present that error, but that is obviously not an option. Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />[CODE]......
I have a popup window that opens from a page on my website.
This popup is a form with several fields.
Upon submit button it redirects to a server side ASP page which writes
all data to the DB.
I would like the popup to close immediately after the submit button is
clicked, and data is saved, (or cancel button) - but this does not
happen.
The popup window remains open, even though I have a "return false;"
after window.open in the onclick event.
What am I missing?
<a href="myurl.asp"
'title','toolbar=no,width=700,height=600'); return false;">post a
note</a>;
I am currently having problems with Popup windows in an application I
am writing. I have a page, which opens a Popup window to a Perl Script
on another server.
Because of this, I cant access the Parent's DOM to execute a function
on the main page from the popup. I need to execute a script in the
Main window once the popup window has finished its process.
I have tried setting a loop that checks if the popup is still open,
which should work in principle.... however it hangs both Browser
Windows.
I am trying to do two things. I have PDF files but the user has to click on the icon and a contact form will come up in a pop-up window. That window has a form and once the form is completed and properly validated, I want the pop-up window to automatically close and go to "white_papers.com?download=1". It will do everything but it only goes to white_papers.com. How can I get it to go to the entire URL including "?download=1"?
View 6 Replies View RelatedAs per the rather long subject, I would like to (well, my boss would like me to...) on a popup have one button to close and another to close but then redirect to another page.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a popup window that has a "link" inside it, which needs to have a target=_blank but when ever clicked in IE, it stays inside the same window.I tried all of the following, none work
<a href='http://www.myurl.net' onclick='window.close();' target='_blank'>
<a href="http://www.myurl.net" target="_blank" onClick="javascript:window.close()">
<a href="http://www.myurl.net" target="_blank" onClick="javascript: setTimeout(window.close, 10);">
I was curious if such a thing is possible, I've seen it done before, but not exactly sure how that would work. Would it have something to do with the window.close (); function?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible for me to make visible a close button if the active
window is a popup window or a new window (other than the main window)?
What I mean is this:
If the present window is the main window, then the close button should
not be visible on the page. Otherwise, the close button should be made
visible and active (i.e. can be clicked to close the window).
as the title says, "close popup window after submit then redirect to parent". how do i do that? i google it and i saw that some people are using the following code:
window.close();
window.opener.location.reload();
The problem is, i dont know how to use and where them.

I have a popup that submits a link. After the link is submitted, I want the user to be able to close the popup and go to the submitted link in one click. How can I do this.
I have my reasons for using popups, it's hard to explain. Please don't tell me how bad popups are, I know they're bad.
Even I am trying the browser close event for cross browser and this should trigger only when X button is clicked or page is refreshed. Here's the code pasted above which I am using but it only works in IE. I know the issue is because of window.events and ClientX/ClientY. my code to make it work in all browsers? This is very urgent and have been striving since 3 days...
*Please Note: Current code is working in IE only and to check you have to close the browser window or refresh the page with mouse click

I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on with IE6's
Msxml2.XMLHTTP object. I have two feed addresses in this stripped down
version of my code below. Both work fine in Firefox (using the
XMLHttpRequest object), but only the thinkgeek one works in IE. In the
processFeed function, it shows the problem - the first alert shows 0
for the wikihow feed in IE, though it can still display the
responseText. Any insight? Code:

i want to run a bit of js not in ie but in all others within some js i'm doing.is this the way to do it? (got this from o'reilly's js;definitive guide book):
Code:
/*@cc_on
@if( @_jscript )
; // nothing for internet explorer[code]....
how should braces be in that, if they should at all? i mean if i wanted multiple lines of js code in the either non-ie or ie blocks how and where would {}'s go?also does that work for ie8?
my site seems to be working perfectly on firefox but when I access it on internet explorer everything loads fine but there is a yellow marker on the status bar of IE saying there are errors on the page. I copied the source into dreamweaver to check for browser specefic bugs but the only bugs that came up were that in Netscape. So any idea why this is happening? The link to my site is in my profile.
