The only way to avoid getting the message when closing any window is when a you close a window that only has one location in its history. In other words, if the users main browser window has a history greater than 1 (which it will) if will prompt for the message. You can use the replace() method to overwrite the last location, but I don't know of any way to force the browser to clear the history and I am fairly certain it has been designed so that this is not supposed to be possible. Of course, I am sure that there is some way to do this with a tricky ActiveX control or something, but not worth the time.

When the code tries to close the original browser window, the computer sees it as a security risk and displays the message. Unfortunately, I don't know a way around it, and I'm not sure there should be as it well could cause a security risk of some kind.

However, if anyone does know the way, please post it. There are alot of others looking for it as well.
