Why would you want to close my browser when I have four or five other
sites open in other Tabs? Maybe even a banking form I was working on
and paused for some other surfing?

I promise not to close *your* browser. :]

I have to code to both IE and Mozilla.
The users won't be using multiple tabs.

This snippet won't even ask me if I want to close the browser in Firebird.
<a href="javascript:void(window.close())">

Hmmm.

But how will you know your visitors are not using multiple tabs? May
we infer from this statement this is not a question relating to the
WWW, but rather an intranet?

And, even if, how would you be able to detect there were not multiple
tabs open? I'm curious, and also curious as to the need to close the
browser. :)

No, neither of your tricks work in Firebird. Ha!
Hmmm.

It'll be in a DOD installation..probly not on the internet.
And we don't care if they use multiple tabs. How's that for rude!

I'll look a bit more but my Googles all say the same as you.
Thanks for the advice,
Pat

Something like this?:

<a href="close.htm" onclick="alert('Get back to work!');">Fun and jokes</a>

close.htm: <body onload="close();">

Apart from the fact that it is invalid (firebird probably doesn't understand
a javascript: protcol) Why would you want to re-invent technology that has
been there since windows was invented, namely the X at the top right of the
screen?

I personnally prefer the closing X at the top left. Just a matter of taste,
like single clicking instead of double.

Windows is just one of the many graphical interfaces on the market.

And i would never use a browser that lets somebody else than me close it.

IE really does that and people use it ?

Incredible !!

Check the JavaScript settings in Options - there is any option to
prevent JavaScript from changing window size and so on.
