Infinite Recursion

I'm wanting to close a window (the main browser) with javascript... this is what I have.

javascript:window.close();


It works. But, I do not want it to prompt the user to confirm the closure. I want it to close without the dialog box comming up. Do you guys know of a work around for this?

Usually if you have more than one location in the window's histiory, the message will pop up.

I'm not sure if this will work, but try this:

window.opener = null (or window.opener = self)
window.close()
return false


Let me know if that works.

iirc it's a browser feature - sort of, "a script is trying to close this windows, is this ok with you, user?".

Thanks for your inputs.

Come to find out the close() will only work if the open() created the window... and in this case, it didn't.
