            Description

            An "Access is Denied" JavaScript error is shown when closing a modal window dialog in IE8. This dialog is opened by calling the following JavaScript: "window.showModalDialog(....);"

            The call that closes the dialog is the following: "window.close();"

            This is only an issue when the blockUIOnSubmit=true and only in the more recent versions of IE8.

            8.0.7600.16385 - Shows the error

            8.0.6001.18702 - Doesn't show the error

            My guess is that the UI blocker code is interfering with the modal window dialog or vice versa.

              Note that this issue only occurs on the more recent IE8 8.0.7.x, which appears to only be available on Windows 7.

              It seems that IE sees the dynamically created iframe (our status indicator overlay) as being part of a different domain . Modifying the iframe's URL would create regressions for issues we already fixed by generating the frame's content using a pseudo-URL.

              The solution applied was to capture and ignore the exception thrown by the popup window when closed. Since the error has no functional impact (the popup window is closed anyway) this can be considered a reasonable fix.
