close browser window

Hello

is there any way to close a browser window using a button? I have a new window opening with some information, and I want it to close completely (ie not go to another URL or anything) when they click another button.

Thank you!

hi there,

try this:

<input type="button" name="whatever" value="whatever" onClick="window.close()">

Here's a way to close the browser window using and image as your trigger.

First define an internal anchor on your page. Then wrap the image in a href tag pointing at the anchor but add the onclick code in the href to close the window. For example -

<a href="top" onClick="window.close();">
<img src="generic image">
</a>

One cool side benefit is no annoying jscript "Close Window" warning.

Hope this helps. URL
