As far as I am aware, the only way to avoid the closing alert message
appearing is when you close a window that only has one location in its
history. Apparently it is a security thing.
You can use the replace() method to changing the location within a
window you have opened with your own opener. You may have a problem
with
some older browsers that do not support replace() so try this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!-- hide script from older browsers
function myreplace(url) {
if (document.images)
location.replace(url);
else
location.href = url;
}
//--></SCRIPT>
And then for the links in that window:
<A HREF="javascript:myreplace('http://gohere.com/next.htm')">Next
page</A>
or you can go here
<A HREF="javascript:myreplace
('http://gohere.com/theoneafter.htm')">The
one after page</A>
Some versions of Opera will not accept relative referces, but will
accept absolute references when using the replace method
or I found this on one of the sites:
<body OnLoad="window.open
('colorassist.html','Start','toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=
0
,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0'); self.focus(); closes.Click();"
onFocus="blur();">
<!--// ## ActiveX Content ## //-->
<OBJECT id=closes type="application/x-oleobject"
classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11">
<param name="Command" value="Close">
</OBJECT>
<!--// ## End ActiveX ## //-->
</body>
Have tested this only on IE 5.5 on Win 2000
AndyC:
I have used the above ActiveX control for some time now on a page on
my site, unfortunately Windows XP SP1 breaks the control, with the
error "This operation can only be performed in help files"...anyone
worked out a way of doing the same thing without this error?
