Auto-close window not working in Safari

[molar]

I have tried a few different methods of having a window auto-close.

This is one of them that is simple and effective:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function closeWin(thetime) {
setTimeout("window.close()", thetime);
}
//-->
</script>

Sorry. Got cut off...

Damn. My competence seems quite low at this moment.

Works in Firefox but not in Safari. The same goes for my other varations. Does anyone know of a method to auto-close a window for Safari as well?

Thanks.

Hello Molar

Welcome to the forum

window.close()

or

self.close()

should work in Safarai 2. I have heard of problems in Safari 1 with window.close, but that was sorted out in Safari 2.

Which Safari version are you using?

Hello. Thanks.

When I got to testing it in Safari 1.3, that's when I noticed the probem. Personally, I'm on OS X.3.9 and you need Tiger to upgrade to Safari 2.

It's the users I'm worried about, though. I might just leave the JavaScript as is (with window.close()) and hope for the best.

Thanks.
