Getting hang/crash problem when I try to close browser window from applet

I have a small Apllet that has a button that calls a Javascript function in the opening window, to close the window in which it is loaded.
The Applet window is a PopUp window from one of my application's window. First time I start my application and load that Applet the button works fine. It calls the Javascript method and the Method closes the window using the self.close() method.
But now if I open the applet window again and click on the button to close the windows, it hangs. I put in trace statements and saw that it hangs on JSObject.getWindow() window.
I am using JDK Plugin 1.4.2_07 and 5.0 , if I work out on IE browser, it works fine.But when I use firefox or mozilla it gives problem of hanging/crashing.
Note that in case of 1.4.2_07 this problem experienced some times but in case of 5.0 it gives always for other than IE browser.
Please, if somebody could give me some clue about why this would happen, I will really appreciate that. and code related to this is given below
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import netscape.javascript.JSObject;
public class TestApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener{
protected JButton closeButton = null;
protected JSObject win = null;
private JFrame frame = null;
private boolean alreadyClosed = false;
public void init(){
this.win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
this.closeButton = new JButton("Close Browser Window");
this.add(this.closeButton);
this.closeButton.addActionListener(this);
frame = new JFrame("Test Frame");
frame.setSize(300, 400);
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.out.println("windowClosing");
alreadyClosed = true;
TestApplet.this.stop();
frame.show();
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
stop();
public void stop() {
if (!alreadyClosed) {
alreadyClosed = true;
frame.dispose();
closeLaunchedBrowser();
System.gc();
System.runFinalization();
private void closeLaunchedBrowser() {
final TestApplet thisObject = this;
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
JSObject win = (JSObject)JSObject.getWindow(thisObject);
if (win != null && win.toString() != null) {
//win.eval("top.opener=self;self.close();");
//win.call("close", null);
win.eval("self.close();");
} catch (Exception e) {
Thread t = new Thread(r);
t.start();
Thanks.

I am waiting for any reply. I have tried for all these below options still I am getting Problem. I heard this is because of javascript, it wont call methods more times .Thats
why I need other than JSObject or java script solution.If some one know anything about this or any modifications I have to made for the below options to avoid that problem please let me know.
// URL durl = new URL(thisObject.getCodeBase(), "test/CloseMe.htm");
// System.out.println("URL :" + durl.toString());
// thisObject.getAppletContext().showDocument(durl);
// thisObject.getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL("javascript:window.close();"), "_self");
//win.eval("top.opener=self;top.close();");
//win.call("close", null);
//Object[] args = { "close", new Integer(50) };
// win.call("setTimeout", args);
//win.eval("setTimeout("close", new Integer(50));");
If it is the problem of JRE I just need it should work on 1.4.2_01 or higher.
thanks.

Close browser window from applet

I have a simple applet that is called
from another application through HTML.
When the applet is done, I'd like to have
it exit and close its browser window.
How is this done? I tried System.exit(),
and that didn't do it. Neither did
destroy().

The only thing I can think of is to have a function defined in JavaScript on your html page and have the applet call the method. For you to be able to do this you will have to have a MAYSCRIPT set in your applet tag.
IE:
<script language="JavaScript">
function closeWindow()
window.close();
</script>
<APPLET code="XYZApp.class" codebase="html/" align="baseline" width="200" height="200"
MAYSCRIPT>
</APPLET>
In your applet:
Make sure that you import the following.
import netscape.javascript.*;
JSObject win = JSObject.getWindow( this );
win.call( "closeWindow", null );// Calls the closeWindow() on the HTML page.

Help!! Closing browser window when form closes

We have migrated from forms 5.0 to Forms 6i, running the forms on FormsServer 6. When I click on the exit button which executes exit_form, the applet window area clears and the browser window remains open. Is there a technique to close the browser window?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

Hi there,
Write a Post-Form trigger with the following line of code:
Web.Show_Document('teclose.html','_self');
The code for teclose.htm is as follows:
<html>
<body onload="closeit()">
<script>
function closeit()
window.close();
</script>
</body>
</html>
Don't forget to include the path in web.show_document to access the teclose.htm. See the
help on web.show_document in forms help.
Hope that will solve your problem.
Thanks
Pranati

Why does Firefox 5 open up to 8 browser windows when opening?

I never had this problem with previous versions, and not even immediately upon upgrading to version 5, but now when I start Firefox, up to 8 separate browser windows open and I have to close each one individually. I am running Windows 7.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Closing browser window when form is closed

Thanks, Michael. I agree about exit_form.
I want the second browser to block the first set of forms running in the first browser because it's a dataflow requirement - user goes from Form A to Form B, must complete their work in Form B before returning to Form A. So I'm actually happy that webutil_host.host freezes Form A. I don't want to use non-blocking because this would let the user back in Form A before they were done with Form B (and would potentially leave a lot of browser windows open). I did initally try web.show_document but that was non-blocking.
Normally, I would use a call_form in this scenario, but I have to log into a second database (for security reasons) for the user to complete their task in Form B, and if I use a call_form and then want to log into a second database, I have to log out of my first one (which causes me to lose all sorts of global variables and session variables), log into the second, and then log back into the first (and I don't get my globals or session variables back in that case). So, I am keeping Session 1 alive in Form A, calling Form B and starting Session 2 against a second database, and then closing Session 2 and Form B and returning to Session1 (which is still open)and Form A. Is there is a better way to do thise, please let me know. (Mind you, this all worked very well in client/server mode - funny how the older tools can be more straightforward.)
And yes, I agree that we are using an old OAS (OAS10gR1). I have been suggesting an upgrade but am being told that it would require too much effort. We have 200 forms and upgrading them to work with the newer OAS is something I have been told we cannot do. If it doesn't require a forms upgrade (beyond open in new builder, save, and close), then I might have some luck making it happen, but everyone seems to think it does require more work than that. If that is not true, please let me know. I think that would solve a lot of our problems.

Can I call browser window at applet?

I make the applet show simple information.
When user click the title of applet,
I want to invoke the browser window like window.open of javascript.
Is it possible?

You wouldn't necessarily need to use javascript. You could use the two-arg showDocument , in which the first arg is the URL and the second arg is the "target" link attribute. You can select values that cause new windows to open.
The method is in AppletContext, by the way. Just checked.

Hi,
Even if i create different regions , it is not possible for me to place them between items.
But anyways, I created a separate button in the same region and it works fine.
Thanks Jari for your help.

Opening browser windows from applet

I have 2 questions
1) Does anyone know, what do I have to do to force my java applet to open new browser window with specified url ?
2) Is any java class, which renders HTML files ? I'm trying to open some document in frame inside applet and I don't know if i have to write this renderer by myself.

for your second question, I dont know if there is a specific HTML class but SAXParser makes reading xml very easy and you probably should have much trouble writing a class to read html.
