[Javascript] window.close()

[bozley05]

Is it possible to use the window.close() function without having IE giving an alert that the browser is trying to close itself?

you can only do that if the window you are closing is a pop up window

Damn.... coz what I wanna do is load a pop-up from flash, but coz my flash file is stand-alone I can't include javascript so I tried to create a link outta flash using the old "_blank" trick then load the pop-up automatically from that file and then auto the _blank window. I'm really stuffed now....

Worked it out!

Thought I would share my new found knowledge with anybody who cares.

Before you do your
self.close()
chuck in
self.opener = ""

and you will not get that annoying error, cool huh?
