Closing a web page

[Bruce A. Julseth]

What will the code look like to completely close a session? I want to put an
"Exit" button on my form. Clicking this "Exit" button will cause the web
page completely close down, just like clicking the "X" (close) in the upper
right hand corner of the brower window.

Thanks....

Bruce

Bruce,

This will close a browser window:
<input type="button" value="Exit" ONCLICK="self.close()">

Works. Thanks... Is there a way to over ride the IE question it asks the
client

"The Web page you are viewing is trying to close the window.
Do you want to close the window?"

I'd like NOT to have this question asked and the window just closed when
"Exit" is clicked.

Thanks...

Bruce

Note that you can only close browser windows that you create using
window.open. If you try to close the main browser window, the browser will
ask the user if they really want to close it.
