The "Close Window" Command
"Close window" is a javascript command and it is used extensively in popup advertisements to make them close or perform additional actions based upon the written code. This command is also used in an Internet browser window, allowing the "x" button to be linked to the action of closing the browser or popup window.

There are many javascript commands that are common in backend programming; one is the command "close window." This command is used in popup ads scripting to enable the ads to be closed or to perform other functions. The close command is also written to close browser windows. The script allows linkage between the actual action of closing the window and the x key.

Javascript is a programming language that can be embedded into HTML code in order to add functions that make a web page interactive, such as the "close window" command. This command is used quite often when designing popup ads and is typically used in order to close the popup windows. This command is also used to close regular Internet browser windows.

When writing the javascript language, there are many different commands that can be used on interactive web pages to perform certain functions. This language is embedded into the lines of HTML code in order to make the webpages function correctly. Different coding is used in order for different functions or actions to work properly. Commands such as "close window" are used to "tell" the web page what specific instruction should be taken when a web user performs certain actions on the page. This particular command is used when scripting actions for popups.
Various javascript commands are written into the HTML or XML code of websites and web browser windows and even into annoying popups. Examples of commands, in addition to the close window command, including minimize window, maximize window, and in drop down menus. Under each command, the HTML will go on to specify the titles to be included in the command and specialized actions of the commands as they are performed. Additional actions may be coded in to be simultaneously performed with the original action.

There are many different javascript commands that are written into a website's HTML code. Other commands, besides close window, can include roll over actions, drop down menus and the open window command. By using HTML, the titles and actions of the commands are written into the codes. If there are other commands that need to be written in with the command instructions, then these can be written in with the original command code.

There are different commands that javascript is used to activate, besides the close window command, such as to open a window or in a javascript menu. The information to activate the command is written into the HTML code of a website. All of the specific command actions that are needed are included in the scripting. At times, there are also other actions that need to be written into the code, in order for special commands to operate properly. If this is the case, then the special command instructions can be added to the code.
In relation to pop up ads and pop under ads, the commands of the language javascript can be manipulated to perform various other actions, along with the action of closing a window. In a new trend of click-jacking, the act of a user pressing the "x" button on a pop up ad cannot only cause the popups to close but can also prompt a virus or spy-ware program to initiate as a new download onto the computer's hard drive. The virus may initiate numerous more pop up windows to open. If the new pop up windows also have corrupt closing commands, more and more viruses may be downloaded to the user's computer; ultimately destroying the hard drive and causing all files on the computer to be lost.
Pop up killers or programs designed to block popups, may be effective in eliminating the threat of many close window commands that are coded by javascript to perform additional tasks when the browser windows or pop up windows are closed. Although many pop up blockers are designed to display warnings of virus threats, pop up windows with corrupt closing commands often go undetected because closing the windows is a common act in removing pop up ads from the screen. A safe way to prevent the prompting of virus and spy-ware downloads from closing commands is to shut down your computer in order to remove the pop up ads from the screen.

Popups can be eliminated by using popup blockers, which can also be useful in alerting the Internet surfer to a threat of a virus that may be hidden in the script of the pop up ad, if the blocker is designed to give out such information. There are, however, some pop up ads that are designed to release a computer virus when the close window option is chosen. This is due to the fact that many people will quickly choose to close out a popup when it appears on the screen, making it convenient and easy to release the virus when the window is closed. One option is simply not to "x" out of the window, but to shut the entire computer down and then reboot.

Pop up ads can be extremely frustrating to deal with. For this reason, many individuals choose to use a popup blocker so the popups will not appear on their computer screen in the first place. For those who do not use a popup blocker, an easy option is simply to close out the window once it appears. While this may work to rid the user of many annoying popups, there are times when it may do more harm than good. At times there may be a virus hidden in the script of the pop up ad that is set to be released once the user attempts to close the window. The virus is most often written as a close window command and added to the HTML code. If this is the method chosen to release the virus, then shutting down the computer entirely is the best way to stop it from being released on the computer.
