Close Web Browser Window Button.

Is there a way to create a button that users can click to close the web browser window? Is it possible to do it through javascript embeded on the button action?
Thank you.

Hi Eric
As I said earlier. Play with JavaScript all you like. Good luck in finding a JavaScript method that will work 100% of the time. I've very doubtful you will.
The simplest test of JavaScript is the Alert, which you have tried. Often testing JavaScript will fail when testing locally. Sometimes it's because the Flash Security is blocking things. To fix that, click here and follow the instructions.
As for the slide, it all depends on your Captivate settings. If you want it blanked you can insert an image or something that would cover the background. Nav bar is another story. Probably just have to live with it that way or turn it off if you don't wish to see it. Or maybe insert a caption or image that indicates the movie has finished and to please close the window (since it didn't close automatically).
Cheers... Rick

Hi,
if I remember well the IE doesn't allow to close the browse by executing window.close() from teh page. However, redirecting the request to a HTML page that has window.close() in its onLoad event rigger should do this

Plugin Won't CLOSE when browser is closed

HELP!!!!! My machine is the only one that does this here. I have Win2000 professional, IE6 (had 5.5 did it on that too). I am using plugin 1.3.1.04. When I launch a page, even if is not one I developed, could be anything that uses it, it loads the applet and will never EVER close it until I do one of two things. Logout and log back in, or Kill Explore.exe, which hoses up your machine. It is causing a lot of problems in that when I try to use other applications that try and launch a different version of the applet, it crashes everything because I have this other version sitting there that won't go away.
I have uninstalled everything and reinstalled it, does the same thing. I reported it to SUN, they said they couldn't reproduce and dismissed it. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS??!?!? Its making developing hell.
thanks.

I have a similar problem with one of my client's machines. He's running Windows 98 and when he closes the browser down the plug-in does not shut down (the cofee cup icon remains in the system tray).
When I look a bit closer at the process table on the PC the plug-in is still being "held" by the explore.exe process.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this??

No Gecko based browsers load websites on Windows 7,but they do on Windows XP. Also Firefox process won't close and browser can't close or restart.

I tried to install firefox 32 and no websites would load and also the process would not close. I tried disabling ipv6 turning my router settings so there is only ipv4 connection and disbaled also dns prefetching and set network settings to no proxy. I uninstalled firefox and tried to reintsall after completely removing everything leaving no trace looking in appdate local and roaming folders and using ccleaner and IObit Uninstaller. Then Firefox would work for a little bit and load Google Facebook and Youtube when I tried it but it was very slow regrading to the instllation of Firefox on my Windows XP which was upgraded from 30 to 32. Uninstalled again and tried older versions of Firefox,K Meleon Lunascape and even Flock. Flock worked but it is going to be unsupported soon. To end,when Firefox loaded webpages the cpu usage jumped from 8% to over 30% and then the websites loaded after the loading circle icon appeared. Other browsers I have work fine. Right now I use Opera.

I managed to fix the problem myself. I did a scan threat scan with malwarebytes antimalware pro that I had and adwcleaner and quarantined everything the first softare found and cleaned with the second everything that seemed to be leftovers of old unisntalled programs. Then had to delete the kmeleon and firefox appdata leftover profiles. I only lfet the firefox light folders which are the folders of the browser I wanted to keep. I then checked for tweaks. I got windows to desfault settings checking if I have doen any tweaks with avg pc tuneup 2011,Tweak Me! and UWT 2.2 and used TCP Optimizer to bring the network settings to windows default for 9000 kbps download speed (after I did a network speed test). Now firefox light is super fast and xcloses normally.

Can not close web browser in N8

Hi all
I have a N8 with the latest pr1.1 FW. Since pr1.1 sometimes browser gets blocked and can not be closed with the task switcher. The only solution that I have is to restart the phone. Is someone experiencing this? Is there a fix?
Best regards
Carlos

Tap the minimize icon (two boxes) in the upper right corner of the Safari page. Then tap the tiny x in the thumbnail to close. You can also swipe the thumbnail to the left to close.

Can applet close the Web browser window it embedded in?

I know that a link or button in the Web browser can close the browser window. But I really don't if the applet can also do it.

This site does have a search function you know, and if thats too much trouble there is google:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asun.com+%22java+to+javascript%22&ie=UTF-8&hl=nl&lr=
This should point you in the direction of a thing called JSObject
Here is some code since I have this in my archive anyway:
the html file:
     <object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
              height="0" width="0" >
        <param name="code" value="someApplet.class" />
        
        <object classid="java:someApplet.class"
                height="0" width="0"
                >
        </object>
        
      </object>
<LABEL id="lblOutputText">This text is the HTML text </LABEL>the applet:
// new class for jsObject!!!! compile this: javac -classpath "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_01\lib\plugin.jar" someApplet.java
// since jaws.jar does not exsist anymore
// in 1.4.0 to compile: javac -classpath "C:\j2sdk1.4.0_03\jre\lib\jaws.jar" someApplet.java
import netscape.javascript.*;
public class someApplet extends java.applet.Applet {
    JSObject win;
    public void init() {
         try{
             win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
// you need win.eval("window.close();"); // to close the window. if the current window is not a popup
// opened by a parent with window.open than the user will get a waring, your next question probably will
// be "can I stop this warning" and the answer is simple: NO
             JSObject textBoxLabel = (JSObject) win.eval("document.getElementById('lblOutputText')");
             textBoxLabel.setMember("innerHTML", "<center><h1>Some text</h1></center>");
        }catch(Exception e){
             e.printStackTrace();
}

Call JavaScript when user closes browser containing webcenter

Hi
Scenario:
1. Webcenter is opened in a browser.
2. User closes the browser
Requirement:
- When user closes browser containing webcenter, a java script (or a servlet) should get called.
As you know, we can call a script in 'onunload()' of body tag.
But how do we call it with webcenter?
Thanks.

I tried down loading mozilla firefox to use as a web browser. It was downloaded 100% then when prompted to "run" the error message comes up with a red cross and the message'This file is corrupted" and won't let me proceed. What do I do now?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

I have an iPod Touch and am going on a cruise where I have been told that I won't be able to use Safari so I should download Firefox. I found "Mercury Web Browser" Firefox at the app store. Is this what I need? I'm leaving on Sept. 3rd.

I have an iPod Touch and am going on a cruise where I have been told that Safari won't work on the ship so I need to download Firefox. My iPod said that Safari cna't download it from the Firefox website. I found "Mercury Web Browser" Firefox, in the app store (free) and am wondering if that is what I need? Help, I'm leaving on Sept. 3/12. Thanks.

- I never heard that but it may be true. It could be that for some reason Safari can't be used to log into the network. Once logged in, Safari should work fine
- However, I see nothing that say the Mercury Web Browser is Firefox. I would contact the cruise line and ask if and how you use the ship's['s wifi for an iPhone or iPad (it will apply to iPod touch)

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your program", while I don't have one running at that time. What is the problem?

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your system". As a matter of fact, there is no firefox browser running at that time. Since I cannot do anything about it, I have to restart my computer before I can use the web browser, which bothers me dearly. What is the problem?

Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting to close Firefox. The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window, it does not necessarily close Firefox .
'''The only proper way to exit Firefox is to use Exit through the File menu''', not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
''Menus hidden: then use Alt+F then X.''
'''Firefox hangs''' | Troubleshooting | Firefox Support ''(some extensions cause a problem)''
* http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox%20hangs#w_hang-at-exit
Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "Processes"
tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
"'''Restartless Restart'''" extension for Firefox 4.0 only (2 KB download )
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/249342/
use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching
to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry
about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Uses keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.
'''Windows 7''' users can use '''Ctrl+Shift+Esc''' to get to the Windows Task Manager quicker than starting with Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Hello,
I do not know if you have Text Animations in your project? If yes, probably you are having issues due to the latest Flash Player. There is a hotfix to be found in this Captivate blog post:

Java won't enable in firefox web browser

I have tried everything possible I could find the fix this issue. I am trying to use the "live chat" feature on the website "car-part.com" in order to chat with auto recycling companies online, but it constantly says that java is not enabled in the web browser. I have gone through the settings and plugins with no luck. I even tried downloading java again from java.com and at the end of the download it states that "java content is disabled in web browsers". What is going on here?

Java and JavaScript are different languages.
To avoid confusion, see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java
There has been a change in the Java security settings, see:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-allow-java-trusted-sites
*"What should I do when I see a security prompt from Java?":<br>http://www.java.com/en/download/help/appsecuritydialogs.xml
If you visit a website regularly then a possible workaround is to add the URL to the Java Exceptions Site List, see:
