I'm using an aspx application

Sporatically, when I close a popup, and return to the calling window, it
hangs and does not return data.

If I click on another browser tab, and come back...that will force it to
return.

Is this a bug?

I did not have this problem in IE6

Hi Dawn,

More information please.

My guess

window.opener and window.close--Internet Explorer 7 no longer allows the
window.opener trick to bypass the window.close prompt. Browser windows
cannot close themselves unless the windows were created in script. This
security enhancement no longer allows browsing to a random site when the
main browser window closes unexpectedly.
