Prev: should I use document.write()?
Next: Getting actual width of span element

HI,
I am running into a problem where my application is crashing in
running javascript.


my window uses IE OCX controls to do some processing from web.
At the end of the processing i have a button "Finish"
when i click Finish, it is supposed to close the OCX and the window it
is residing in.
for that my function is

function CloseWindow()
{
window.external.close();
window.close();
}

But this is crashing. Can someone please help me.
What will happen if i call only window.external.close() only.

Thanks
Keshav

Be more specific. Which control?

No, it is not. most certainly there is a TypeError runtime error instead
as

typeof window.external.close === "undefined"

(needs to be "function", "object", or "unknown" to be callable).

I don't see a close() method there. Do you?

Is that a question? If yes, why don't you just try it?
I guess it will "crash", too.
