[Javascript] Control the window

[Peter Lauri]

Yes, I have an agreement with the client that they need IE of 6 or better to
assure functionality of the intranet.

If you can dig I would be happy :)

I had exactly the same scenario - intranet app, where I didn't want the 
back button to be used.

You can't, to the best of my knowledge control an existing browser the 
way you can a new window - so I forced my app to open in a new window.

I can guarantee and rely on an IE5.5+/Win environment so I used a very 
nasty trick to close the original browser window after the new one (with 
the app) had opened.

I could dig that nasty nasty trick out for you if you want a look at one 
of the horrid things IE will let you do?
