javascript:close.window()

such a script does not exist. You cannot close the main browser-window without the prompt.

How about a popup window?

Hi artsapimp,

window.close();
self.close();
windowName.close(); where windowName is the name of the popUP

Take your pick, dependent upon your needs.

so a popup window named "popup" that you want to automatically close once called upon would be written as what?

< script language = j@vascript >
< popup.cl0se() >

Like that?

something like that, yah.
popup.close() doesn't need the <>'s

If you want to call it by a link, the HTML would be:

Link text

You can look at my site at http://www.shoutingrock.org/troop214 and look at the photos. If you click on the composite photo you will open a new window. There is a close button on it that you can view source for.

I'm still having some problems. I'm sure it's because of frames because it's working without them. When I open the page popup_close.htm which is the bottom frame of the page and I click the close button it works. If I open page.htm which has popup_close.htm as the bottom frame and top.htm as the top of the frame. When I click the button it does nothing. Does anyone know why that would be?

Hi artsapimp,

Guess I'm tuckered out from 3 hours sleep and two 5 hour drives in a 20-hour period. Are you trying to close a frame with window.close()? -- you can't; at least as far as I know.
If you have 2 frames top & bottom, and pop a window from frame bottom, you can close the popUp from bottom or the popUp with the code supplied. If you want to close popUp from top, I'm not sure -- but, try:

parent.bottom.windowname.close();

If nothing I said makes sense (and I'm not sure if it does), post the url.
