Today i added print functionality to a web page that basically changes the stylesheet for print formatting and also automatically fires the print dialogue for the user. On doing this in IE7 you get the message:
"The web page you are viewing is trying to close the window"
when running the follwing javascript added to the page on page load:
If Not ClientScript.IsStartupScriptRegistered(Me.GetType, "OnLoad") Then
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType, "OnLoad", "window.print();window.close();", True)
End If
All you need to do to counteract this is put the following javascript code in before the close:
window.open('','_self');
So the code will now look like this:
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType, "OnLoad", "window.print();window.open('','_self');window.close();", True)
Works a treat.

Awesome. it worked great. Thanks.
Hi, I have IE8 and I get access denied on the window.open('','_self','');
I tried also window.opener=self or other strings but then in this case I still get the popup message before it closes...
Any idea what might be wrong? Thanks

This is the only place i found the solution for this.

This worked perfectly. I wish this showed up first in a Google search. Thank you so very much!
If I'm understanding this correctly, the window is essentially taking control of itself before closing, thus suppressing the silly popup.
Also @Christian
You said you get access denied on window.open('','_self',''); but I don't think we're calling it with a third parameter. Try just window.open('','_self');
Well done, Great work. Thanks
