Closing browser

[Mohammad Farhat]

Hey Guys,
is there a way that i close all open browsers on the client side using an applet code?
also is there a way to restart one browser after that?
the reason behind this is that from my signed applet, i am changing the max memory heap size for the jvm, and i need to close all browsers for the change to take effect, and a nice feature also is to put the user back into the log in page...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mohammad

Try using the netscape.javascript package

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import netscape.javascript.*;
 
public class WinClose extends Applet 
        implements ActionListener{
 
Button wc = new Button("Close me");
 
public void init() {
 wc.setActionCommand("CLOSE");
 wc.addActionListener(this);
 add(wc);
 }
 
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
  String command = e.getActionCommand();
  if (command.equals("CLOSE")) {
   JSObject win = (JSObject) JSObject.getWindow(this);
   win.evalualte("self.close();");
   }
  }
}

Ps. win.evalutate is not right. Could not post the right tag here

Mathias,
thanks for the reply...but this helps in closing simply the current window in which the applet is opened.
What i actually need is to close all instances of the browser currently opened, since this is the only way through which the jvm would be restarted...
Any other thoughts ?
Best,
Mohammad

Ok! I don't know if you can loop thru all the browser windows. Try asking this question in the HTML, Javascript forum. If there is a reply that works, put the code in a javascript function and call the function inside the applet.
