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.

How to close browser window after user log out

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can close browser window after user logs out. The scenario is when user clicks a log out button I will invalidate user session and close the browser right away in the backing bean.
Your help would be appreciated.

Try run this and you'll see that it runs fine with no exceptions:
<%
     String someText = "bla bla bla";
     response.setContentType("text/plain");
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.txt");
     try {
          ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
          os.write(someText.getBytes());
          os.flush();
          os.close();
     } catch (Exception e) {
          out.println("ERROR: " + e);
%>It looks like that after I've closed the outputStream I can't do any more processing in the JSP. Even if I remove the setContentType and setHeader methods it still behaves this way.
I'm starting to think that there's no way around this...??

Can't find a java script that will close browser window

I went through the archives and found several java scripts
for closing browser windows. Unfortunately none of the work. If I
find one that will work on a Mac - Safari then it won't work on a
PC - IE. I downloaded and installed that extension but cannot find
it on my Mac menus. Running MX2004 on a Mac.
Here are the codes I've tried and a example page:
<a href="#" onClick="window.close()">close
window</a>
<a href="javascript:window.close();">{YOUR TEXT
HERE}</a>
<a href="javascript:window.close()">Click here to close
this
window</a>
<a href="javascript:self.close();"> close window
</a>
Here's an example of a non working page:
[removed to protect the company]
and another script that doesn't work:
[removed to protect the company]
Thanks for all your help.

How to create a button that close a window/popup.

Hi, I must create in a view a button that close the window/popup that include the view, the button must be like the OK button of the popup or the X button at the top-right side . It's possible?

Hi Avalor.
You can create a custom pop up window. Just create a view that contains all
elements that you want to display. Add the button that closes the view. Create a
new window that only contains this new view. Use the mentioned method to create
a new window as pop up. You just have to pass the name of the window you have
created. Store the reference to the new window in the component controller
(mr_window).
From the new window->view you have access to the component controller.
In the action handler of the button you can use something like this:
wd_comop_controler->mr_window->close( ).

Sascha

Express install always asks user to close browser window

Is Adobe in charge of the code that closes browser windows at
the end of express install?
I'm currently using SWFobject 1.5 to embed my flash movie
with express install active and neither IE6, IE7 or firefox will
automatically close once express install has finished. It used to
be that IE would close and reopen the window, firefox never used to
but that's a different topic I'm sure.
Perhaps Adobe changed something?

Close Browser Window with view button element when view embedded into fpm

Hi,
is it possible to build a button into a component view which is embedded into a fpm to close the browser window?
tried to build a exit plug within the view/window of my component. But nothing happened. the window stays open
Maybe is it an option to fire the fpm close plug of the fpm from my component view embedded into the fpm?
Hope you can help me.
Using the close button of the fpm is not an option because the window should automaticaly close when clicking on a button embedded into my component view.
Kind Regards
Rico

Hello,
one more question.
Is it possible to change the method. so that the fpm opens within the same browser window instead of a new one?
Maybe is there a solution with the portal?

Close browser window on click - pass parameter

Hi,
I have two applications (iViews) in the portal, one passing parameter to the other. On click of 1st iView, it passes parameters to 2nd iView, which opens as a separate window in portal. I need to select some values in it and on clicking OK, some parameters should be passed to the 1st IView and the window must be closed. The parameter must be made available in the 1st Iview, by autorefreshing.

Close browser window using FPM

Hi all,
My requirement is to close the browser window on click of a button in the webdynpro component.
I have triggered FPM event gc_event_close in after action of that view.
The window gets closed perfectly if I execute the application from SE80.
But the window is not getting closed when I run the application from portal, instead I get a message saying' The application is closed, you can now close the window'
Any pointers on closing the browser window when the application is run from portal would be of great help.
Thanks in advance.
Veda

I can confirm this behavior. You can change this behavior by adding code in process_event method.
1. Fire a portal event with
"urn:com.sapportals:navigation", "CloseWindow", ""
OR
1. Fire a Exit plug with close_window = abap_true

How to close browser window after flushing a file to the browser?

I have this simple JSP, which flushes a String to the browser as a file (message.txt). The JSP gets opened in a new window when the user clicks a link.
The problem is that after the JSP has run, the browser window won't close automatically. I've tried adding a small javascript to achieve this, but i doesn't seem to even get run.
How can I close the browser window after the JSP has run?
<%
     String someText = "bla bla bla";
     // Flush to browser
     response.setContentType("text/plain");
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.txt");
     try {
          ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
          os.write(someText.getBytes());
          os.flush();
          os.close();
     } catch (IOException e) {
          return;
     } catch (Exception e) {
          return;
%>
<script type="text/javascript">
     window.close();
</script>After the JSP has run, an empty html page with the following source can be seen:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

Try run this and you'll see that it runs fine with no exceptions:
<%
     String someText = "bla bla bla";
     response.setContentType("text/plain");
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.txt");
     try {
          ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
          os.write(someText.getBytes());
          os.flush();
          os.close();
     } catch (Exception e) {
          out.println("ERROR: " + e);
%>It looks like that after I've closed the outputStream I can't do any more processing in the JSP. Even if I remove the setContentType and setHeader methods it still behaves this way.
I'm starting to think that there's no way around this...??

Too many clicks required to close a window

When I click to close a window, too often a menu pops up instead. What am I doing wrong?

The buttons that were giving me a problem were close X; hide X. It didn't seem to matter whether I clicked on the close, hide or X a menu would pop up with a list of items: Open link in New Window, etc down to Copy Image.
Now it seems to be working, or my fingers are working! Thanks for the great tip though in terms of closing the main windows and applications!

Close Browser Window

I have been trying to find the correct code to close a
browser window the AW module has been exited (via a Quit button.)
The AW module closed but the browser window remains open noting
"Done". I have tried JavaScript in the .htm file and also tried
code in a calculation icon in AW. Any suggestions? Thank you!!!

ReadURL("javascript:'window.close()'")

How to close browser window ?

Can someone help me?
I need to close the browser window when I exit form in WEB mode
(i.e. using the toolbar exit button).
I think that, using a javascript inside the HTML cartridge, it
should be possible.
For example see the following.
<SCRIPT FOR=dev60 EVENT=????? LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
window.close;
</SCRIPT>
To make running this I must to know the event name generated by
the form applet.
Does someone know it?
Is there some documentation about this argument ?
Thanks
