Hi all,
I have a hyper link i.e. 'logout'. When I click on it. the window should gets closed. To do so I wrote a javascript method as shown below.
function closing()
{
parent.window.close();
}
But this is working for only Internet Explorer..I have tried in Opera, Fire Fox, Netscape but in these browsers it is not working..I tried parent.parent.window.close() & top.window.close() functions too. But failed. Can anybody guess the problem here ??
With Regards,
Shashi Kala

It is browser security. If you did not create the window with window.open, you can not close it.

Don't be. Just be glad that any old web site can't close your browser!

As Bear stated, I am glad that I do not go to some site and my browser just goes away. I would be a little ticked if that would happen.
