MSIE 6.0 'Permission Denied During Window Closing' Bug

Written August 23. 2006, at 22:17 GMT.

Today at work, we came across a weird bug in Internet Explorer 6.0 which only appeard after we installed Microsoft's latest security update (issued on August 8th, 2006)

During the debugging phase I set up a reduced test-case for the bug, which I thought might be nice to publish here for others to find and hopefully learn from.

    I have recently run across the same issue and resolved by using the typeof()

    example:

      var checkWindowStatus = function() {
        if (!myWindow 
               || typeof(myWindow.closed)=='unknown' 
               || myWindow.closed)  {
          alert("the popup has been closed!");
          clearInterval(myInterval);
          myWindow = null;
        }
      };
