JayShah 11-30-2008, 12:30 PM Tell us what the error is? Use something like FireBug to see it if you can't already. Jay BM136 12-01-2008, 06:07 AM Hi Jay, It doesn't return any error my code as the following: <html> <head> </head> <body> <input type="button" value="close" onclick="window.close();"/> </body> </html> I read somewhere while I was searching that in Firefox I can't close a window via javascript unless I open it via javascript HivelocityDD 12-03-2008, 01:29 AM Can you please try this onclick=\"javascript:window.open('','_parent','');window.close();\" This should work both with IE and firefox Cheers ! BM136 12-03-2008, 03:15 AM nop, It didn't work :( HivelocityDD 12-03-2008, 06:31 AM If you are using older version of firefox it should work. But for higher versions above 2.2 it wont work I think. Can you please try this <input type="button" value="close" onclick="javascript:window.opener='x';window.close();"/> Let me know if you have any luck with this please..
