If that worked, then wouldn't the OP have no problem?
Sorry, maybe I'm missing something. I re-read this thread,
but I don't see where the disconnect is. Regardless, as long
as the OP is happy, don't worry about me.

However, a security warning "The web page you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you want to close this window? Yes|No " is popping up. Is there any possibility to close a window silently? I tried the following also, but it didn't help.
