I've got a page with an control - the link is to a gif file. Right clicking on the link (in IE7) and selecting "open target in new window" correctly displays the image. However I can't then close the new IE window.

MORE INFO: Works OK in Firefox 3

What might I be doing wrong ?

TIA

Tom

A: 

How exactelly are you trying to close the new window?

You you click on the red X and nothing happens? Or are you trying to close it from JS code?

There isn't really something you can do wrong to prevent a window from being closed on the client. My guess is this is a problem with the system installation.

Test this again using another browser on the same computer, and then on another computer.

I've been starting up IE from Visual Studio (without debugging) and its only then I get the problem. Running IE outside of Visual Studio and it works fine.

I'm on Vista by the way so it may be some incompatibility there. Will probably have to live with it

Radu094 thanks for your time
