iPixel Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 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!

Ken2k7 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Is there a reason you're setting the url of a META redirect to a JavaScript command?

Ken2k7 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 And the reason you have to do with a META is? What's wrong with JavaScript?

iPixel Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 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.
