Close IE with C#

>>>this.close() is not an option
I assume you meant that JavaScript is not an option, right?

well if you could tell me how to javascript it that would be great. i have no idea

Well, this.close() is JavaScript.

yea I tried that there is no option for it for some reason. Now the button is ina master page is that going to make a diffrence?

 protected void Button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        
    }

Select allOpen in new window

When the button is clicked, do you need to execute some code before closing the window, or just close the window?

I just want to close the window

Is this window a Popup window?

OK, before we go any further, please allow me to give you some information about this.close() or window.close(), or self.close() functions. Any of these functions can be used to close a window, but they are only allowed to be called for windows that were opened by a script using the window.open method. Otherwise, IE will display a prompt asking you if you want to close the window, but FireFox will throw an error in Error Console and will not close the window (not even a prompt). Apparently, it is for the security reason.

yes i even tried in the html code i tried
        <asp:Button ID="Button5" runat="server" Text="Emergency Close" OnClientClick="window.close" />
and it would not work

okay I got it
        <asp:Button ID="Button5" runat="server" Text="Emergency Close" OnClientClick="window.close()" />  
But... how do you fool IE to not put up the warning label????
i.e.    The webpage you are viewing is tryin to close the window.
        Do you want to close this window?
                     yes       no

cool thanx

window.close only works if the window is a popup window triggered by JavaScript window.open function.

There is a way to do it I just did if you want to know how email me matthewshier@gmail.com

Unfortunately it is aginst the EE membership agreement to get an answer through ways other than here. Thanks though.
