code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">
<!--
var secs
var timerID = null
var timerRunning = false
var delay = 1000

function InitializeTimer()
{
    // Set the length of the timer, in seconds
    secs = 10
    StopTheClock()
    StartTheTimer()
}

function StopTheClock()
{
    if(timerRunning)
        clearTimeout(timerID)
    timerRunning = false
}

function StartTheTimer()
{
    if (secs==0)
    {
        StopTheClock()
        alert("You have just wasted 10 seconds of your life.")
window.close
    }
    else
    {
        self.status = secs
        secs = secs - 1
        timerRunning = true
        timerID = self.setTimeout("StartTheTimer()", delay)
    }
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

code:
<body onLoad="InitializeTimer()">

ok.

stig your code wont work.

your callling
window.close .... thats a link to the function varible you need to add a () after it like
window.close();

next that code is way too long for such a simple task!
time is in millisec.

code:
window.setTimeout(function(e){window.close( ); } , 1000 );

but in IE it asks you "The page you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you want to close this windows now?"

anyway to bypass it?


and it doesn't work in firefox :(

If you create that window (open it from one of your pages) then you own it

yes it is.


errr in the main content you have to save the window in a varible (what window.opens returns)

then set a timeout with that varible and do varWindow.close();
