Close the current page – how to?

Hi all,

I have a form that redirects to a thank you page after submission. I want this thank you page to be closed after a few seconds.
The redirection to this thank page is via php.

The form doesn’t open via JS or popup, it’s a part of a page.

Window.close(); doesn’t work for me here (on IE it works, but not on FF or chrome).
Anyone knows how to close a page without user permission?

 

the only way to close a window is throught window.close();

the only window you can close without the user's permission is a pop-up window, if you're closing a parent window a confirmation dialog will appear..

why not create a js pop-up to put your message there, in that way you have the control to remove that pop-up.. an example would be jquery dialog

 

Look for modal alerts. Some of them have timed closes as well as click closes.
