Self.close() no longer working! Any other options?

[iPixel]

So recently there's been this windows / java update and for some reason

javascript:self.close()

no longer works, and will now close the ie / ff window that is opened.

 

Are there any other ways to close a window besides that js line?

 

Reason : i have a pop up that does some SQL data insert statement then it just says ok it worked blah blah blah and closes it'self. Im closing using a meta refresh tag? could that be the reason it doesnt self close anymore ? because im 100% sure it used to work.

 

<meta http-equiv=refresh content='5;url=javascript:self.close()'>

 

Thanks Guys!

Is there a reason you're setting the url of a META redirect to a JavaScript command?

[iPixel]

Yea i want to time the action, i want the user to have enought time to read the result info (5 seconds) and then poof close the window.

And the reason you have to do with a META is? What's wrong with JavaScript?

[iPixel]

i dunno how to delay with js lol

[Ken2k7]

Google setTimeout.

I've tried working with setTimeout b4, that thing is freakin weird and never works like i want it to.

I tried using setTimeout to scroll a div layer from left to right once and it just wouldnt delay at all.

Then you used it wrong.
