Hi all,
    Client just asked me to put in a button to quit the browser...IE 4.0 as
a matter a fact at the end of  an interactive program I created for them.
Quit the browser...

Is this even possible?

Somedays, clients are indeed from hell

You can call window.close(), but they will be prompted.  Basically, if they
launch the window then they have to authorize closing it.  If you create
the window (i.e. JavaScript opens a new browser window) then you can close
it with JavaScript and they won't be prompted.  It's a security thing that
keeps web pages from messing around with each other.

You can make a button like this:

<input type="Button" value="Close Window" onClick="window.close()">
