: In the parent window I am trying to close the pop-up window by
: doing this:

: <SCRIPT LANGAUGE=JAVASCRIPT>
: //Close pop-up window
: winHlp.close ();
: </SCRIPT>

: I get the following error: "winHlp not defined".

: winHlp is the name of the pop-up window so I don't understand
: why I am getting this error message.

: Could someone tell me what else could be generating this message?

: Thanks!!

Vanessa, Yes, iam trying to do the same thing and I tried
windowname.close () but i get that "windowname undefined"
message. I was using the child window as a form to login with
a username/password and then target the parent window.
I just used a setTimeout (window.close (),5999) to close the window
about 6 seconds after it was submitted.
However, you probably arent doing the same thing.
I will try to figure out a way to do it.
good luck.
