@Khalid_AliJul 01.2003 — though I am just guessing ,with MS my guesses have usually been correct..

try this

colCDROMs.Item(i).Close

@nkaisareJul 01.2003 — Why would you want to open/close my CD ROM drive? Leave that to my choice.

[b]colCDROMs.Item(i).Close[/b]

If "close" doesn't work, wouldn't applying eject again to an open CD ROM close it?

BTW, Remind me to browse your site with javascript turned off.

@diamondsJul 01.2003 — remember you can only do as much as the program the next level up. If windows OS only allows you to open it (being true) than in JS you can only open it.

anyway, I didn't know JS even HAD the permissions to open a users CD ROM drive...

JavaScript still does not do this ,he is using MS specific VBScript.

@VasilliauthorJul 01.2003 — Ok thank you all for the advice.

Yes I would prefer NOT to have this script open my CDRom drives if I visited a page either, but it is true that YOU DO WHAT THE CLIENT WANTS, THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT IT LATER!!.

hehe well thank you all for your help!! even though I have convinced them to just make the lazy buggers visiting the site open their own CD drives ?

Thanks again
