With ASP.NET & HTTPS sahi cannot close second IE browser window

Since Sahi does not record browser functions (an option to do this would be nice!) document.close() is not recorded. In order to work around this I wish to add <browser> code, JavaScript code, or Sahi code to close the browser window. I have tried various solutions but can only close my original IE browser window. It seems to be an issue of selection and focus. Has anyone done this?

Thanks,
Robin

    Use _call(window.close()) or _popup("id")._call(window.close()).

    Note that document.close will close the writer to the document object. It will not close the window.

    Narayan,

    Thanks but neither of these work. The IE browser window is launched with:

    w = window.open(sURL, "", ...

    so there is no name or ID for the _popup command.

    "_call(window.close())" and "_call(window.top.close())" both close the launching window, NOT the top window that I want. I can't change the HTML so I cannot add a name.

    Any other suggestions? This case should really be documented somewhere. I looked at the demo scripts but can't find my situation.

    Narayan,

    If there are two separate instances of IE ( I'm talking first you navigate to the website base URL and then that document launches a SEPARATE instance of IE) how does Sahi know which instance is which, especially when the second instance has "" or null for its identifier? This seems to be the issue. The more succesful code I try simply closes the base URL window and leaves the second one floating there. The URLs are different. Is there a way to use browser code from the DOM to ID the correct window? Any more ideas?

    Finally!

    Using IE Inspector I found a long Title I could use ( "OncuEMR- ... ").

    _popup("<title>").close(); did the trick!

    Thanks!

    "Value rather than Name" problem.) See this forum.
