Simple Window Close Script

I have a simple script to close all the windows of the drives I mount at login, but right now the amount of windows to close is hardcoded in to the script. Is there a way to make this script just close all open finder windows instead of a set amount of windows the way it is set up now???
This is the script as it is now;
tell application "Finder"
activate
repeat 7 times
close window 1
end repeat
end tell
Any help would be great! Thanks.

If you want every Finder window closed then this should work:
<pre>
tell application "Finder"
close every window
end tell
</pre>
If there are just specific windows you're wanting to close then it would take a bit more work.

Safari 6.1 crashing when clicking on links (window.close script?)

Hi,
I am running Safari 6.1 on my MacBook Pro with Mac OSX Version 10.7.5.
I have Glims and AdBlock Plus installed to keep any advertisments to a minimum.
Since yesterday, Safari keeps crashing whenever clicking on a hyperlink in a webpage, any webpage.
It occurs almost every third time that I click on a link, or in a form e.g. to enter an email address.
First it will open an Untitled tab, and then a popup window which has the following string in the URL bar:
data:text/html,<script>window.close()</script>
Either Safari completely crashes, or I can click back into the main window to delete the "Untitled" tab and continue web browsing.
No matter what it is extremely bothersome.
I do not understand what is occuring.
The only thing I can think of, is that during yesterday I sent an infuriating letter to Google in regards to being force fed their Google+ social network, just so I could use an email account (and my YouTube account which they hijacked). I was also rather annoyed at their automatic categorisation (which would mess up my organisation) which I could not delete or remove despite what I did. I deserted their email by settinng a filter to forward all my email to another email account provider and delete Gmail's copy.
Is it possible that Google has retaliated by infecting my computer with a virus? I know that's a rather slanderous claim, but I just find it quite a coincidence for the altercation to occur and then on the same day, have this problem occuring in my Apple web browser on an Apple computer.
I was so offended that I was rather coarse-tongued with my words, so I wonder if they thought themselves clever and nerdy to cause a disruption in this way.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you.

First, even if Google could manage to infect your machine with malware of some kind, why do you think they would care one bit about your letter? I'm sure they get thousands of angry letters per day. I doubt they even read them all.
As for the issue, that's probably actually caused by Glims. You say you have installed it to keep ads to a minimum, but the latest version of Glims includes its own ads by default, and has been known to malfunction exactly as you describe. I would recommend removing it. Use the Glims uninstaller.

Problems using window.close() and setting fields

Hi,
I have two problems:
First one is:
I created a simple JSP with 'Save' and 'Exit' Buttons. In the Exit button on click event I invoked a function closeWindow, which calls teh window.close(). But on clicking Exit, the window does not close. Can anyone please tell me why.
Second one is:
The JSP also needs to get loaded with some values in the Textfields. Theses values are extracted from a text field using a Java class. I am able to see that these values are extracted from the text file and are loaded into Java vars, but when I am trying to set this value into a text field, it is NOT getting set.
(filePathDetails is the instance of the class that extracts the text values)
The entire code is posted below:

Try the following..
For problem 1:
Use window.close() instead of window.closeWindow().
For the second problem
don't call the function setPaths() at onload. Rather
call the function after the page is loaded. You can
try like this.
If it doesn't work then check whether the browser is
giving any JavaScript error message.
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
setPaths() ;
     function setPaths(){
     alert(document.pathDetails.element[0].value);
document.pathDetails.element[0].value =
= <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath1 %>;
          alert(document.pathDetails.element[0].value);
          with(document.pathDetails){
textAncPath1.value =
e = <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath1 %>;
textAncPath2.value =
e = <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath2 %>;
textArchivePath.value =
e = <%=filePathDetails.archiveDirPath %>;
textLogPath.value = <%=filePathDetails.logFilePath
ath %>;
     function closeWindow(){
          window.closeWindow();
</SCRIPT>Hi,
Actually I did try window.close(), but I still am not able to close the current window.
And as for the problem of setting up the field values, sorry the given solution doesnt seem to work. :-(..
I have pasted the entire code, I dont know where teh flaw is. Please review the same and let me know.

Simple PopUp Close Window after Saving

Greetings,
(I did some seaching on the forum and didn't find a solution.)
I have a PopUp window (called with the popUp2() function) which I would like to have close when a person clicks the save button in the PopUp, therefore only showing the main page.
(I have an application that the user can enter general comments in. They want a window to pop up for the entry of their comment(s) and close after they enter and save them. Automatically 'returning' to the main page they were on. When they click the Save button it simply saves their comments into a comment table that is associated with the main tables of the application.)
How is it best to close the PopUp window in the scenario I described? A DML process is saving the changes. I assume that's a server process, so javascript to close the window won't work there. I was gonna add a branch to close the window, but branches are server side too.
Not sure how to best go about closing the window after table changes are saved. I bet it's something simple, but I'm not seeing it. :-)
Thanks, Tony

Hi Monica,
Since the form is not submitting to the database try the other option I gave you.
Remove the javascript from the SAVE button, set the Target to -No Target -.
I assume you're using an Automatic Row Processing (DML) that saves the data to the database?
If so, after that process, create a PL/SQL process using the following:
BEGIN
-- Redirects the calling (parent page) then closes this popup window.
htp.p('<body>');
htp.p('<script type="text/javascript">');
htp.p('window.close(this);');
htp.p('window.opener.location.href="f?p=&APP_ID.:24:&SESSION.";');
htp.p('</script>');
htp.p('</body>');
END;
Under the Conditional Processing for this process, select the 'SAVE' button (When Button Pressed).
Remove any branches you have on the pop up page (assuming you have a branch that takes you to page 24).
When you click the SAVE button, the DML process will run, saving the data to the database. Then the second process you just created will run which will close the pop up window, then reload the 'parent' page.

Problem with window.close and window.open

I am having two suspected Actionscript problems which only seem to be happening with Flash player 9 and later.
BACKGROUND:
I have a client who needs browser-launched swf files to play from a CD-ROM (I do not want to use the Flash projector). These files were created a few years ago using Actionscript 1 & 2 code and everything has worked perfectly until now.
Here is the setup:
First, an autorun file on the root of the CD runs and writes a 'trust file' to the 'Macromed' directory. The autorun next launches 'index.htm' which is simply an html page containing a series of links (topic1.htm; topic2.htm; and so on). Next, let's assume the student clicks the 'topic1.htm' link from the 'index.htm' page. The 'topic1.htm' link launches a web page (also located on the CD) which contains and displays 'topic1.swf'. So far, everything works fine.
Here is where the two problems happen.
Problem 1:
I have an 'Exit' button within each swf (remember each swf is contained inside an html page). The 'Exit' button has always worked properly, but suddenly does not work in Flash player 9. I am using the following Actionscript 2 code on the 'Exit' button:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.close()");
The 'Exit' button has always worked using this code (and still works in Flash player 8 and lower). However, it does nothing when played using Flash player 9.
Problem 2:
There are links to html popup windows within the 'topic1.swf' file (remember 'topic1.swf' is contained inside 'topic1.htm'). Each popup window contains a swf file that is used to present a demonstration. When the student clicks the 'demo1.htm' link from 'topic1.swf', an html popup window SHOULD load and display 'demo1.swf' inside the 'demo1.htm' window. The main ('topic1.htm') window stays open so that the student can return to the topic after completing the demo. This has always worked properly until Flash player 9. Here is the Actionscript 2 code
which I am using on the button inside 'topic1.swf' to launch 'demo1.htm':
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:launchWin2('webpage2.html');");
ADDITIONAL INFO:
'topic1.htm' contains the following code which is used to support the Actionscript code listed under 'Problem 2' above.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>

</SCRIPT>
I would appreciate any help anyone can offer. I am wondering if the problem has to do with a need to use ONLY Actionscript 3 code from Flash player 9 onwards.
Thanks!
Terry

IPad Safari IOS 5 window.close() closing wrong window

When I want to close the child window(although now they open as tabs) in the parent window with javascript window.close(),the parent window was closed.
Is this a bug or have any solution?
Safari/7534.48.3
My script:
<script type="text/javascript">
var subWin1 = null;
function popSub() {
subWin = window.open('myurl,'subWin1','height=200,width=200');
function closeSub() {
subWin.close();
</script>

I'm having the exact same problem. On iPad Safari on iOS 5 attempting to close a popup window with close() is causing the parent window to close instead. Every other browser, including iPhone Safari on iOS 5 it works fine. I've been trying to come up with a workaround but haven't found anything yet. If anyone can find a workaround please post.

Window.open() & window.close () does not work in Portal application

Hello All,
I am trying to open & close a popup window from a weblogic portal. But the following don't seem to work in this environment. As a web application, it works fine.
<netui:anchor action="DetailedWorkObject" target="<script @lang ='java'> window.open('IndividualWorkObjectDetails.jsp','null','resizable=no, HEIGHT=500,WIDTH=500'); </script>" >
<netui:parameter name="CLAIM_NBR" value="{container.item.claim_Nbr}" />
<netui:label value="{container.item.claim_Nbr}"/>
</netui:anchor></td>
I am using Weblogic Workshop 8.1 SP3.The above code opens up a new window but it cannot be closed with
window.close()
self.close nor this.close().
I have even tried calling the script function where I write this code but without success.
Does any one know why is this happenning ? Please tell me what is the work around for this situation.
Please answer it as soon as possible.
Thanks & have a wonderful Holiday!

Not sure if anybiody answered this for you, or if you figured it out, but here you go. In the skins directory, the default skin contains a menu.js file which has the following function at line 232:
function close(menuItem)
if (menuItem && !currentMenuItem)
closeAll(menuItem);
This function is overriding the inherent javascript close() function. Simply rename this to something else (I renamed it to closeItem) and rename the call to it at line 228 (setTimeout("close(tmpMenuItem)", tryClosePause);), and you're golden.
The two functions should look like this:
function tryClose(menuItem)
if (!currentMenuItem)
tmpMenuItem = menuItem;
setTimeout("closeItem(tmpMenuItem)", tryClosePause);
function closeItem(menuItem)
if (menuItem && !currentMenuItem)
closeAll(menuItem);

Calling PL/SQL procedures from a Windows CMD script

Hello,
I am writing a Windows CMD script. From this script I want to call procedures from a PL/SQL package which selects, inserts or deletes rows from the database.
How do I go about logging into the database from the cmd script and calling PL/SQL procedures from there?
Does anyone have any examples of such scripts? Thanks in advance.

No, it is not a job that needs to be scheduled.
The script will be used when needed to select info from a certain table and also to insert or delete certain info into/from this table (so, it is just simple sql statements which I have put into a package), but I'm sure how to log into the database and execute the procedures from this package in a cmd script.

After update to Firefox 15 it crashes after javascript call window.close();opener.alert('test');. Is this working as intended or is it a bug?

After update to Firefox 15 it crashes after javascript call from a popup window.close();opener.alert('test');. Is this working as intended or is it a bug?

According to the pages linked to the crash ID, there is a bug report on this.
Does the crash occur as soon as you run those two lines of code, or after dismissing the alert()?
If this is your application, why are you running script commands after calling window.close()? Could you avoid the problem by using an approach like this:
<br>window.setTimeout(function(){opener.alert('test'},250);
window.close();

Window.close no longer working

Having found the following here on the forums a few months ago we have been successfully using it to close our web browser when exiting our forms application:
Web.show_document('javascript:window.opener=self;javascript:window.close();', '_self');
However, in the last week this functionality has stopped working - but only a few users PCs. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm sure its a browser setting (IE6), but which one?
Thankyou in advance.
Richard

I raised a TAR on this issue and have had the following response:
"Please check this article at Microsoft's site:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;330913
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 330913 You Can Only Use Trusted Documents to Open Other Documents in the My Computer Zone
"Because of the new security code checks, documents in the Internet zone cannot have access through hypertext reference (HREF) links or scripting to documents in the My Computer zone. Only documents located in the Trusted sites zone or the My Computer zone can access documents in the My Computer zone. Therefore, if you want to permit untrusted documents to access documents in the My Computer zone, you must add the source URL in the Trusted sites zone. Do so with caution and careful thought to prevent a potential security weakness."
Since web.show_document uses showDocument, this is the same problem you faced."
So, the use of Javascript to close the browser window is something that will no longer be supported in IE when issued through web.show_document? I'm deferring to your knowledge really as I don't quite understand the implications of what I am being told.

Calling Flex function from javascripty for window.close

Using a set up in my ActionScript of:
ExternalInterface.addCallback("tagWithClosed",windowClosed);
How can I write a JavaScript function that calls
'tagWithClosed' to Flex when the user closes the window
(window.close() )?

Tried something like this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
window.onbeforeunload = closingWindow;
function closingWindow()
FXVideo.tagWithClosed();
</SCRIPT>
Didn't work though.
My swf is called FXVideo.swf. Is calling the
FXVideo,tagWithClosed correct or should be something else?

Supress a window in script layout

While modifying the standard scripts, how can we comment or suppress a window in scripts so that it will not appear in the output, instead of actually deleting the window from the layout.

Problem with window.close() and print preview in IE

Hi all,
In IE, when window.close() or self.close() is executed, the window is closing perfectly. But when after opening a print preview window from file menu in IE and after closing the print preview with [X] button, then the window.close() is not working. Is there any solution to close the window even after closing the print preview window? here is the sample code.
1) Close.htm
<HTML>
<TITLE>TEST</TITLE>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
function CloseMe()
window.close();
//self.close();
</SCRIPT>
<INPUT TYPE="button" ONCLICK="CloseMe()" VALUE="Close Me">
</BODY>
</HTML>
Thanks,

Why'd you start a new thread once you got an answer on the thread linked above ( and even acknowledged it ) about the fact a that it was not a Java query?Because last time it was a JSP forum, which is not JavaScript obviously, but this is a Java forum, and the designers, obviously, simply neglected to include Script in the name, of course. ;-):D Why, oh, why did they have to call it JavaScript!

LMS Window Close (exit button...again)

Yes, I know this is a freq. encountered issue. I thought I had fixed this but apparently that was just wishful thinking.
If I publish my project with the full screen option, the lesson is opened as a child window and the playbar exit button works as advertised; the window closes.
If I enable LMS reporting and perform the same steps, the playbar exit button does not work.
What's up with that? What is it about the published SCORM version that disables the exit button?

Here is what I did to get the exit button in the playback bar to close the content window in our LMS. I did not want to have a seperate button object.
Your mileage may vary. I may be violating some SCORM rules but too bad. The trace shows the terminate is clean, as the code runs upon the unload of the content window. I do not have a quiz in my SCO/SWF.
File locations are as they appear on my laptop. I am using ActionScript 3 in Captivate 5 on Windows XP.
Backup app source files if you are skeered of breaking them.
1. Edit the playback FLA for the skin you are using. Mine is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5\Templates\PlaybackFLA\AS3\SpaceBlue.fla.
Edit the action code for pbcBtnExit. Add two lines in red:
var btnTipsId = 8;
function onClicked()
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.call("closeWindow");
parent.onPBCBtnClick("exit");
2. Save and publish the playback FLA to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5\en_US\Gallery\Playbars\AS3.
3. To include tweaked code every time you publish for SCORM, edit the HTML source code. The folder is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5\Templates\Publish\SCORM\2004, as I choose SCORM 2004 in the Captivate reporting preferences.
The file can be Custom.htm,Default.htm or SendTrackingDataAtEnd.htm, depending on what you select as the Template in the reporting preferences of Captivate.
Add this script in the header:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
function closeWindow (message){
window.top.close(self);}
</SCRIPT>
You may have to play around with the javascript to find the right opion that works in your situation.
Save.
4. Publish the Captivate project. Exit button now works for me.
There may be an easier way to get the Exit button to do this but I did not see it. I submitted an enhancement request to Adobe suggesting that the Exit button should be programmable to some extent.
