Closing Window with Javascript

[John]

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to use Javascript to Close a browser
window without any warning, no questions asked, just shut it.

Something that would go in the body of the HTML coding, or maybe a countdown
of 10 seconds until window closes.

I have found some scripts but when they go to close the window a box appears
letting me know that the browser is trying to close the window. Yes or no.

Thanks, John

John,

Not really a Java question but:

You can only close a window without a warning if you also opened it with
script:

<script>
function close() {
self.close();
}
</script>

This will throw up a warning if the current window wasn't opened by script
(or something). So open it with:

<script>
function openWindow() {
window.open('window2.html');
}
</script>

Regards,
Kent
