[thelist] javascript closing pop up windows

[Scarlett Julian (ED)]

Hi all

I'm experimenting with using pop up windows and having
javascript:window.close() to shut them down. However when I try to shut them
down I get a dialogue box from the browser saying that the web page I am
viewing is trying to close the window and do I want to conntinue. Can
anybody tell me what's going on? I'm using IE5.5 andIE4 on Win 2K and Win98
respectively.
