window Close in FireFox Issue

P.T.R.K asked:

Open original thread
Hi All,

I have two pages
1. default.html
2. login.html

In application startup page is default.html. When run this page will open login.html with separate window(in my case will open the application in full view). At the same time default.html will reopen again and close immediately.

The following source is working fine in ie,chrome, safari. But It is not working in Firefox only.

default.html
<pre lang="xml"><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function openWin() {
            var qry = window.document.location.href;
            var val = qry.indexOf("flag");
            if (val == -1) {
                window.open("login.html", "Login");
                var selfwin = window.open("default.html?flag=open", "_self");
                selfwin.close();
            }
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body onload="openWin();">
</body>
</html>
</pre>



login.html

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
