Re: perlscript to close internet explorer?

NO. CLOSING USERS WINDOW = BAD. This is a very, annoying thing. And more to the point, is virtually impossible to do. There is a small hack that will do this in IE (well, it used to, doubt if it does any more), and nothing at all that will do it in anyother browser.

Yep. Lots of references say this is bad. But! I'm the developer and in this case, it's imperative that the app/window close on a fatal error. I should note that there are only a couple of things that are fatal and the users have already expressed annoyance at having to click 2 buttons to close the app, instead of just one. So, this is per request, in addition to just making good sense. Please share the IE hack if you have it, I really need to implement this for just this one app.	[reply]
