Re: Closing browser window without a prompt

Use

window.opener = window;
window.close();

Works on every version of IE if have recently come across. Other browser may
choke on it though.

Doesn't work in IE5.5+. IE 5.0 still prompts. IE4.0 untested but assumed to
give the prompt. There are more browser where it *does* work than there are
where it doesn't work.
