Closing Parent Window script help

**Gibson** · 08-24-2006, 08:20 AM

Hi!

I need some help please

I have a script that closes the parent browser (see below) but it displays a message asking if the user wants to close the browser. The script is triggered when logout (text not a button) is pressed

Code:

 
onclick="javascript:window.parent.close()

please can you tell me what i need to put to make the message dissapear?

Many thanks

Joe

Nice! so basicly what you do is create a JS bsic window.close function on the parent window and then from the child window instead of close.parent.window you call the function in the paren window

="window( or document, not sure).top(or parent not sure).Function();"

the not sures is cause I dont wanna try it but instead give you the idea
