Hi All,

I open a pop-up window using following code in main.html

function openwindow(url)
{
window.open(url,
    "mywindow","location=1,status=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=no,width=650,height=650");
}

Open

In My child.html i used

function closewindow() { self.close(); }

function closeIt() { return "Your chat will be terminated. Are you sure?"

}

< a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="closewindow();">Close Window< /a >    

When i click on close window it gize me alert message that i given on event onbeforeunload but it not close the window when i click on Ok.Also this happens only in I.E. & working fine in mozilla, netscape, safari. I checked it on IE6 & IE8

Any help is Appreciated.
