I have a function that opens a new window and closes the original window. I would like to close the original window without getting a prompt. What is the easiest way to accomplish this?

TIA!!

This hack appears to work in most browsers:

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

Try this:

<body>
<OBJECT id="closes" type="application/x-oleobject"classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11">
<PARAM NAME="Command" VALUE="Close">
</OBJECT>

<a href="your_jump_file.html" onClick="closes.Click();JavaScript:open'your_jump_file.html','','height=600,width=790,locationbar=no,scrollba rs=yes,resizable=yes,status=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no')"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">link-name</font></a>

</body>

Your explication is more simply so: Click the X on upper-right window.

Adam's response worked great! I didnt try yours but I am sure it works as well - I like the quick and to the point though :p

Did I just say it.. the Adam's code is best... but the implementation of these code for any "beginner" is more difficult (maybe). If the example looks like:

<a href="any_page.htm" onClick="window.opener=top; window.close();JavaScript:open('any_page.htm','','height=600,width=790,locationbar=no,scrollbars=yes ,resizable=yes,status=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no')"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Make_Click</font></a>

There is not better?
Excuse me!
Bye...

Is it possible to putt some BODY ONLOAD script here, so when someone clicks URL, it takes him to this popup site, which then popus up 'any_page. htm' like in example.
