window.close()

Is there a way to close a window using javascript but without the prompt?

I did actually search first but I prefer Yahoo and didn't find what I needed.

Thanks for the link. The reply sucks though.

Umm.... Maybe...

Code:
  
print "Location: javascript:window.close();\n\n";

Would this not do the job. Its what i use and i never get a prompt.
Hope it helps.

Doh! -. but thats on a pop up window only..

Paul, this should do the job for you.

Code:
 <a href="close" onClick="window.close(); return false;">Close Window</a>

But! To close a window without confirmation it must be opened from another window if the window the you trying to close is a new browser window ... the browser will always ask you for confirmation.
