closing brower windows

hi,

I'm trying to close a browser window, from a window that has been
opened using the window.open method.
I've tried amongst others:
opener.close()
<windowname>.close()
top.close()
top.opener.close()


....but that ¤%// window just won't die!

any ideas?

You can try
if (opener && !opener.closed) {
opener.opener = opener;
opener.close();
}
that should close the window with IE/Win and with Netscape 6 and 7.
Netscape 7.1 doesn't allow script to close a window that has not been
opened by script, and Netscape 4 will ask the user whether he wants to
allow the script to close the window.
