it prompts for yes/no which i do not want.

<CENTER><FORM>
<INPUT type="Button" VALUE="Close" onClick="self.close()">
</FORM></CENTER>

it is basically an agreement they do for our intranet, if they click no i want it close the main window down without prompting.

If its IE, it'll probably crash if you give it time anyway! (And as a bonus take the shell with it!!!)

Christian,

I think that is a security feature. I.e. you cannot close the main window, without agreement from the user. You can of course close all child windows.

I think the usual thing to do is to have the main window, pop-up an additional small windows with "Agree" "Disagree" buttons. If they don't agree, then the pop-up closes and the main page shows a blank page, if agree, the pop-up closes and the main windows goes to the page in question.

That is the way I've seen it anyway.

Cheers

IW> Thought as much. Pitty, as they will still have the toolbar, so then could type anywhere else to go to

IWatkins

If it is IE6 (or even IE5) you can customise the broswer with a kit called something like "The IE administrators kit" or similar.

You can do all sorts, like switch off toolbars, change logos/names on the window (for branding purposes etc.)

Might be worth a look, but I'm not sure quite what your application is.

Cheers

Hi Ian,

Yeah I know about that, but really I just want the first page to be restricted, so they can either hit agree and continue, or disagree and ie will quit.

IWatkins

Does IE really have to quit ?

Could you not just have an "Agree" button ? This way, they can only proceed if they click the button, otherwise they get stuck with the "Do you agree page".

yes but they would still have the tool bar at the top, so they could type in a webpage and go to it..

IWatkins

Erm, true
