IE 8: "The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the window."

[Cirano]

I'm having trouble with the MediaLab questionnaire attached.

At some point of the questionnaire, ML redirects to a webpage, containing a Java script, that asks participants to type in a word shown at the top of the page.
After entering the word, when you press the button "Click here to continue", IE8 prompts the user with the following error message:- 'The web page you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you want to close this window?'

Is it possible to bypass that message and make ML go ahead to the next session without any intervention of the participant?

I tried to change the default browser to Firefox, but the problem is still there.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Any help on this thread?

Try seeing if the attached files work better. I went ahead and changed the following text:

window.opener=''; 
window.close();

to -

document.program1.submit();

I believe the new version of the code will allow for the document to be submitted, which should then allow for MediaLab to continue properly.

Let me know if this works!
