Could you try:
_popup("title")._closeWindow();
If you still get that error, can you tell us what browser/OS you are using? (If you could copy the contents on the Info tab of the controller, that will help)

I did try that code, but no luck. The window still opens with the message. I've also tried IE options in the security settings. Here's my Info tab:

Is the solution to above problem available with Sahi Pro?
I want to automate that warning in IE10. Is it possible to select the desired option from Yes or No?
Scenario is like this.
When I launch IE10 and go to http://www.sahi.co.in/demo/ page, there is a button Close Self.
I get message below
Windows Internet Explorer
The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the window.
Do you want to close this window?
Yes No
How can I choose whether I select Yes or I select No?
Thanks
You can you native Key events to simulate an ENTER key press event (to select yes or no) or to simulate a TAB key press event (to toggle between yes and no).
An illustration of how to use native key event can be seen as an example(of file upload) on the following link. Have a look at it and try it out as per your requirement. Let me know if you face any problems with this.
Regards.
