    Tell us what the error is? Use something like FireBug to see it if you can't already.

    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

    Can you please try this
    onclick=\"javascript:window.open('','_parent','');window.close();\"
    This should work both with IE and firefox
    Cheers !

    HivelocityDD Guest
    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..

    Thats correct
    To use the close method in FF you must use the open method..
