Mozilla hates self.close()?

[norm1220]

I've been playing with DHTML. I have a Layer that floats across the page, and when it reaches the edge, the window closes. This works in IE, but Mozilla will not respond to self.close(). Any ideas why this usually cooperative browser is being so stubborn?

/* Sure, go ahead and code in your fancy IDE. Just remember: it's all fun and games until someone puts an $i out */

try to take a look at preferences:advanced:scripts & plugins
this is where the settings for what javascripts are allowed to do are set. I think that the first one - move or resize excisting windows - is controlling self.close().

I believe self.close only works on windows opened by javascript.
