JavaScript Confusion - Closing Page

[- Steve -]

Shouldn't this work, causing the browser to close once
progress.Percentage reaches 100?

Page_Load
{
UpdateProgress();
}

UpdateProgress()
{
if(progress.Percentage < 100)
Page.Response.Write("Meta HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=3>");

else
Page.RegisterStartupScript("OnLoad",
"<script language=javascript>" +
"windows.close()" +
"</script>");
}

Nope. There is no JavaScript object called "windows". There IS an object
called "window." In addition, unless the page was opened by another Browser
instance, calling "window.close()" will cause a warning to pop up, allowing
the user to decide whether or not to close the window. If you want to
suppress that, you need to set the opener property of the window to self
first. Example:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
window.opener = self;
window.close();
// --></script>
