Close portal main window without confirmation message

[chinna_babu2]

Hi All,

Is it possible to close the Portal Main Window (main page) without a confirmation popup window.

I am launching an iView (can be excel sheet/html page etc) using Quick Link which is attached to a role.

When this iView opens, I want to close the portal main page.

I am using the below code to close the main window.

window.top.close()

But it is prompting a confirmation popup window "Do you want to close this window". I don't want this popup message.

I have tried with below code also, but it is neither prompting nor closing the window.

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

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

Can anyone tell me how to acheive the above requirement.

Thanks

Chinna.

Hi,

never tried, but you could try this:

Hi,

Could you tell me which version of Internet Explorer using.

Also how you are executing this javascript. Where you kept this code.

What i have tested is after opening the portal i replace the browser URL with this code and its works perfectly in my IE 7.0

javascript:window.top.open('','_self','');window.close();

Regards

Baby

Hi Baby,

I am using IE6.

I am executing this code from my AbstractPortalComponent within the doContent method.

I have tested by replacing the browser URL with this script

javascript:window.top.open('','_self','');window.close();

It pops up the confirmation window.

Thanks

Chinna.

You can't avoid to display the confirmation message showed by the Internet Explorer browser.
