How to close Internet Explorer from webforms?

How can i close internet explorer when i click on the exit button in my form? when i click the exit button (exit_form working behind the scenes) the forms closes but leaves a blank applet window of IE behind, how can i incorporate closing IE from the exit button?

Create a file called close.html
Add in some java script to close a window
e.g.
window.close
//This is not the exact code but its roughly like this.
Then in your POST_FORM trigger call web.show_document("close.html").

  • How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?

    In order for Flash Player to be installed or updated, any programs that use Flash Player must be closed.  This includes Internet Explorer or other browsers, instant messengers, Skype, etc.
    These programs may be running in the background, not as visible windows, but need to be closed anyway.
    To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager.  To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
    Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
    Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
    Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
    Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab.  On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
    Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
    It would be desirable if the Flash Player installer could perform that action by itself; I have therefore created an enhancement request.  If you were affected by this problem, please head over to the Bugbase and vote for this request: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3548136

  • How to open Internet explorer from java

    how can one open internet explorer through java and also displays the desired webpage in it.

    p = r.exec(runie);Whenever you use exec on a Runtime object, you need to get an InputStream off the System.err output. If this InputStream is not absorbed in some way, then it can stop the process. The process may not reach its destined finish point. The Java Documentation does not inform you of this, though experience will give you some unanswered questions, such as 'Why does this process never reach the finish point'.

  • Close Internet Explorer (Failed Download)

    I have tried multiple times to install Adobe Flash Player. The program initializes and I allow it. When trying to download it asks me to close Internet Explorer. After closing Internet Explorer, I hit Retry, but the same messages re-appears. I don't understand why I keep getting that message after I've already exited out of Internet Explorer... the program will not let me continue.
