Okay, this was brought up before, and no one had an answer. So I'm brining it up again to see if we can finally find a resolution....

Let's say I use this:
<a href="search.htm" target="_search">Search</a>

which will open search.htm in the left side search pane of IE. Or, I could use this:

<a href="#" onclick="crap=window.open('search.htm ','_search');">pop</a>

which does the same thing.

I need to figure out how to programmatically close the _search pane. With the second method above, I tried crap.close(), but I got a NOT SUPPORTED error.

I'd REALLY like to find out if this can be done. I've been looking all over for a solution.

Interesting. I kept getting "PERMISSION DENIED"

I'll do some more searching.

Interestingly enough, if I use
<a href="#" onclick="crap2=window.open('http://www.msnbc.com','_media');">pop into _media</a>

and do a crap2.close(), I get nothing - not even an error.

Weird, if you open a window with

<a href="#" onclick="crap2=window.open('http://www.msnbc.com','_media');">pop into _media</a>

you should be able to close it with

<a href="#" onclick="crap2.close()">close</a>

I get "PERMISSION DENIED" on that one too.

I've done a bit of searching and can't find anything. This is really weird. I agree with HZR, you should just be able to use the same method and just close the stinking window!

That was my thought as well. I'd love to use the _search pane, but I can't if I cannot then close it automatically. I've noodling with the _media pane and getting things to play in that pane (instead of media player). But the same problem exists with that one as well.

I cannot find anything on being able to close that puppy with script. Sorry, Pugz. If it's possible, I can't wait to see how.

Yeah, I haven't forgotten about it. I searched for quite some time and couldn't find anything about it.

I've tried but hey, if Bugs can't find a way then I don't think that I will have much luck either. Sorry

Interestingly enough, here's an cool example of using the _search.
Go to http://search.lycos.com/?matchmode=and&cat=lycos&query=runningwolf and then click on FAST FORWARD next to any link.

Is the underscore neccesary ?
<a href="search.htm" target="_search">Search</a>
will it not work the same without it ?

Would the _ not set it as an independant window hence the Permission denied ?

No, you have to have the underscore. Otherwise, it just opens a new window.
