Close window with JavaScript

[John H.]

Hello

I have some trouble in closing a window, Here is the problem:

I develop a asp.net website use client side valiation

<asp:CustomValidator id="CustomValidator1"
ControlToValidate="Text1"
ClientValidationFunction="BasicSearchValidation"
OnServerValidate="ServerValidation"
Display="Static"
ErrorMessage="Not an even number!"
ForeColor="green"
Font-Name="verdana"
Font-Size="10pt"
runat="server"/>


the validation function (JavaScript) is

BasicSearchValidation(source, arguments)
{
...

w1 = window.open("PopupErrorMsg.htm", "example1", "width=400,
height=300, location=no, menubar=no, status=no, toolbar=no,
scrollbars=no, resizable=no");
...
}

ASP.net will automatically call BasicSearchValidation and open a
window,
but when I click close button on the window, it always prompt a
messagebox to ask me to close it. How can I close the window without
the prompting the messagebox?

Thanks!

Hi

If your app did not open the window ( window.open ) you will get a confirm
box

There is a hack but I don't think its a good idea using it so I wont post it
:)
